This is very soft, light weight, very elegant looking summer top. It’s made with wool yarn Total of 4.5 skein of yarn used for XS/S size and it took less than a day to make it. You can try with different colors or multicolors. You can even make it longer as a dress. I think that would look nice too. Written instructions and the materials in below.

Make another identical piece (right and left- make them separately and connect them in row 19 and make one more row after connecting two sides, total of 20 rows). Now we are going to connect both front and back piece which includes right and left sides. See pic below.
Body part: Connect back piece to the front piece. Going in a circular motion continue alternating 1 sc followed by 1 dc for each st. No decreasing or increasing.
Continue with ribbing:

Turn your work, 1 double sl st to blo until the last st, 1 double sl st to last st.. 4 sl sts.
Ch 2 and turn your work. Continue this ribbing all the way around the edge.
Working on the armhole ribbing:
Make same ribbing for the front and back of the neck.
