Seam Together (refer to photo 1)

Lay your front and back panel together, correct sides facing. Line your stitches up from both panels evenly. Seam the first shoulder together working through both panels using your method of choice. You can use a yarn needle and mattress stitch to join or use your hook and Sl St (through the outer loops only) across. Repeat on opposite shoulder. Join yarn at the bottom hem (row 1) of the panels. Seam the sides together from the bottom up. 

Do not seam all the way to the top. Leave a 6.5(7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5) inch opening for the arm hole. Repeat on opposite side. 

Neckline Trim (refer to photo 2)

Lay your top out in front of you, correct side out, front panel up. Join yarn with a Sl St at right side of neckline at Row 58(58, 60, 62, 62, 64, 66, 66, 68). Ch 1, Work Half Double Crochet stitches evenly spaced down the side of the neckline, across the 2 empty stitches at bottom point of neckline, and back up the other side. 

Note- Stitch count is not crucial here, just try to make an even amount on both sides. Continue working Hdc stitches around the remainder of the neck opening until you reach your first St made. Join with a Sl St. Tie Off.  

Sleeve Trim

Join yarn at the seam at the bottom of the arm opening with a Sl St. 

Round 1: Ch 1, work Hdc stitches evenly around opening. Join to first St made with a Sl St. (St count is not crucial) 

Round 2: Ch 1, 1 Hdc in each St around, join to first St made with a Sl St. Tie off and repeat on opposite side. Weave in all ends.
