Farrah Top Knit Along (KAL): Week 4

Welcome to the 4th instalment of our Farrah top Knit Along (KAL): Shaping your armholes and straps.

Head over here to check out all of our Farrah top KAL posts so far.

FARAH-TOP-22

For this this week you will be working through the following techniques to complete the back piece of your top:

Casting off (to create the steps to create the armhole shape and to finish off your straps).
Knitting 2 stitches together (this decreases the number of stitches in your row and if you consistently decrease over a series of rows – as your do in the Farrah top – you end up creating a neat, sloping edge).
Slipping stitches (we slip the first stitch of each row so that your armhole edge is nice and neat).
Joining a new ball of yarn 

The sharp-eyed among you will notice that we already covered all of these steps in our week 2 Farrah top KAL. Rather than running through it all again, if you need a little refresh on these particular skills, head over to our week 2 KAL post here.
