421 Laurel Simple Summer Shell

This piece actually has more sleeve action than it would appear-- they are built out slightly from the body, but since the cotton is so soft, they drape very well. Knit in the round to the armholes, where you divide for front and back; some waist shaping is included along the side 'seams', for the wasp-waisted effect you see here. Shoulders are joined with mattress stitch, and front V overlap is tacked down-- otherwise, no sewing!
