Tips for a Perfect Halter Top

• Measure your underbust and the distance to your neck to plan the size of the panel.
• Carry the yarn up the side for thin stripes to save weaving in ends.
• Block the panel so the stripes are straight and the edges even.
• Use mercerized cotton for crisp stitches and a little shine.
