The Limoncello Top is knitted top down. The cups are knitted flat separately with increases. The cups are joined by casting on stitches for the back. A fold is made for insertion of an i-cord. The top is then knitted flat to the correct length. The top is finalized with i-cord edges along the cups and straps, as well as a long i-cord tie.
