The Juliana top is a festive and feminine one-shoulder top. The top is symmetrical, so you can choose which shoulder it sits on. It is knitted with one strand of Panettone yarn from Hobbii, which is a color-changing yarn with glitter.
Pattern overview
The top is worked top-down. First, stitches are cast on using Judy's Magic Cast-On. Then, half of the stitches are set aside while you make the front piece with the remaining stitches. When the front piece is done, you will make the back piece with the stitches you put on hold, when you casted on.
Afterwards the front piece and the back piece will be connected and the rest of the top is worked in the round before you make the ribbing at the bottom of the top.
