Lolita Strap Top is worked top down. It begins with one front strap and a little front neckline shaping, stitches are then placed on hold and a second strap worked for the other side. The two pieces are then joined at the front with additional cast-on stitches to complete the front neckline. The bodice is continued with bust and underarm shaping then stitches are placed on hold. Stitches are cast on for a back strap and shaped for one side of the back. Stitches are put on hold and a second back strap worked for the other side. The back and front pieces are then joined and worked in the round for the rest of the bodice. The lower body is then worked in contrasting yarn in an open-honeycomb lace stitch. Lastly, straps are adjusted to the desired length and the front and back straps joined at the shoulders.
