A deeply inset sleeve is all the embellishment the Noro Saddle Shoulder Colorblock Top needs. Worked in Noro Taiyo, the front and back bodice are shaped with bind-off rows to create a niche for the sleeve caps. The sleeves are worked in another shade of Taiyo for subtle contrast. A round of single crochet finishes off the neckline and sleeve edges; two rounds offer structure at the lower hem.
