Hi everyone,

I'm currently knitting the Oregano Top from DROPS, but I'm a bit confused about the construction.

It's worked from the bottom up and starts with casting on a certain number of stitches. Then, after about 8–10 cm, the pattern tells you to increase at the sides. It's only 10 stitches in total, but I'm wondering if that would still affect the fit in a strange way.

Has anyone here knitted this top, or something with a similar construction? If so, how did it fit once finished? Did the shaping look flattering on the body?

I'm especially confused because increasing at the waist seems a bit counterintuitive to me. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
