You can immediately knit from this border so as not to make a long set of loops several times and not to calculate the correct number of loops.
Neck and straps
The straps and neckline are made after knitting and joining the bottom stripes. Use triangular mesh for the corners; this is a separate pattern for this model. It’s good to make the straps with simple counter shells. Use the same shells to tie the edge of the neckline and under the armholes.
