The Lost One Shoulder is a cute as summer top and perfect addition to your warm weather wardrobe. Worked from the bottom up before shaping for your one shoulder straps, it creates a stylish reversible top that can be worn on your right shoulder or left shoulder.

Construction

The Lost One Shoulder is worked from the bottom up, beginning at the hem and working up to the underarms. Stitches are then placed on hold and divided to work your front and back. The neckline is decreased to create a sloped edge and form your one shoulder top.
