knit on size 5 needles out of KnitPicks Shine in worsted weight, I cast on 

 180 and used the Chevron & eyelet pattern (Vogue Knitting book, 1989, p 149)  I did 2 repeats then decreased for sides.  When the top measured 11-12 inches from the bottom I did short rows (hence the wierd blocking.)  The square neck front and back are not symmetrical.  I made the back much lower, but the front covers my bra well.  I put a picot edging on the neckline.  I did the Chevron & eyelet pattern on the edges of the sleeves.  I need to post a picture of me wearing this, but for now this is what you get.  It is a cotton blend so it does stretch after a bit of wear.
