All is left is the bodice hem. Use the same technique as the arm hem treatment for the bodice and you are done!

Finished Top

One of the nice things about working with knits is that most knit fabrics do not fray, so you don’t have to hem if you don’t want to. In this example, I used a decorative stitch a inch above them hemline and didn’t do a hem treatment at all.

Finished Top Inside

Here is an example of the top turned inside out.

Inside of Neckline

Here is an example of the neckline from the inside.

I like how this neckline looks from the inside, I may use this as a design element in future garments on the outside (showing side) of the garment.

Care tag

If you are giving a knit top as a gift or if you want to make your garment look more like ready-to-wear, you can add size tags and care tags to your garment. I like to put the care tags in the side seam.

Congratulations! You made your first knit top!
