This top is once again 2 parts seamed up the sides and along the shoulder. 
The below pattern is written for XS size. You can customize your fit based on how oversized you would like the garment to be. Each panel of the top is worked from side to side, so additional rows in the panel give you additional width and extra rows in the bottom border part give you additional length.
