Construction
Lay your two identical rectangles side by side - right side up – fold each one in half facing you. Now you should have a V-neck and back shape. Measure from shoulders to center how open you wish the top to be on your chest and mark it as well as the back. Measure 17 cm on the sides for armholes and mark using stitch markers. Sew all parts together!
Finishing Touches
Secure yarn, weave in ends, and cut yarn.
