The Stella top is worked back and forth in rows, from side to side. The back and front pieces are worked separately, finished at the top edges, and then joined at the shoulders using an invisible seam. The neckline is finished with a 1x1 rib crochet edging. The Stella top is characterized by an openwork central motif, creating an elegant interplay of textures and transparency.
In this pattern you will find written instructions and many video tutorials attached that will help you in the most important steps.
