A sideways top with textural stripes – as a peplum or crop top.
The top is worked seamlessly from side to side in reverse Stockinette stitch with slipped-stitch lines. The neckline and armholes have a neat i-cord edge. Stitches are then picked up from the lower edge of the body and worked top-down, either in stripes of alternating colors and textures (Garter and Stockinette stitch) for the Peplum Top or as a folded hem for the Crop Top.
