Construction Notes
The pop-over is worked flat in a two panels from the bottom up, then pieces are sewn together along shoulders, leaving sides open. I-cord ties attached to the side edges. The Neck band is worked circularly from picked up stitches, folded and knitted to the inside of the cast-on edge for a seamless finish. Alternatively, you may choose a welted trim worked with ribbing.
The garment does not have a true circumference; for best results choose a size whose cross-front panel width is narrower than the wearer’s cross-front upper chest measurement (from underarm to underarm).
