The Trille Top is worked flat and sideways, with a scooped neck and armhole shaping, and sewed together at the center back. Shoulder straps are worked separately as I-cords from stitches picked up from the top edge. The fabric is quite stretchy, both widthwise and lengthwise (it will grow in length by approx. 20% with blocking), and the pattern takes this into account. However, if you wish to alter the finished length, just cast on 3 extra or fewer stitches per every 2 cm of fabric you’d like to add or take away, for a longer or a cropped version of your Trille Top (and remember to take the extra or fewer stitches into account throughout!).
