Knitting Pattern Fibonacci Top

Information:
The Fibonacci top is knitted seamless from the top down. You start with the cuff for the neckband. After knitting the neckband you knit the shoulders seamless. Next you pick up stitches from the shoulders and the back panel of the top is knitted flat. The increases for the back panel are made in a decorative wide raglan line. The front panel is knitted in the same way, but the Fibonacci pattern is worked across the front panel. The discreet lace pattern is worked within both of the raglan lines and in the middle of the front panel of the top. After the increases the back and front panel are joined to knit in the round and the Fibonacci pattern continues across the front panel.

Inspiration:
In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers form a sequence, the Fibonacci sequence, such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, …
