The Lost Off Shoulder is a cute as summer top and perfect addition to your warm weather wardrobe. It has a stylish fitted look with stretch for a comfortable fit. 

Construction The Lost Off Shoulder is worked from the top down, beginning at the yoke and working the sleeves and body stitches at the same time. Stitches for the sleeves are then placed on hold, and underarm stitches are cast on with the body worked in the round. Each sleeve is then picked up and worked one at a time to the desired lengths.
