Construction Note
Agatha is worked seamlessly from the top down. The construction begins with the turtleneck, worked in the round. The Front Neck shaping is achieved with short rows for a more comfortable and flattering fit, then finished with a neat double-knit band.
After the neck shaping is completed, the Front and Back are worked separately in rows, with halter-style shaping across the yoke. The pieces are then joined at the underarm and the body is worked seamlessly in the round to the hem.
