Strawberry Daiquiri
This pattern is part of the 4-piece collection from my first ever retreat: Stitch & Beach! Each design easily stands alone with a huge variety of included options, but they are even better when purchased together. Check out the entire collection here.
Tailored at the shoulders with top-down, seamless set-in sleeves, this v-neck is deliciously comfy with a fit that is just as yummy with flattering shaping sitting just above the hem, sweatshirt style. Two contrasting yarn bases are featured in the same colorway providing stability at the shoulders, neckline & hems balanced with a super-light fabric throughout. Layer this top for warmth or go with less in milder temps. Use this design as a palette for dreamy stripes, choose contrasting colors in your bases, knit short or long sleeves or a cropped or longer length.
SIZING
Sample is shown in Size 4 with approximately 5"/12.5 cm positive ease at the Upper Bust/ Chest (UB) and Full Bust/Chest (FB): these two measurements just happen to be the same for me. Choose a size with 3.5-6.5"/9- 16.5 cm positive ease at the UB for the best fit. If you aren't sure how to measure your UB, check out this tutorial for instructions & a video demonstration.
EXPERIENCE
Pattern is designed for advanced beginning knitters comfortable with tracking shaping over various garment areas, provisional & cable CO, picking up stitches and basic short row shaping. Pattern includes written instructions for a basic W&T and optional Tubular Hems (shown).
OPTIONS
Instructions are provided for short or long sleeves, a cropped or longer (standard) length, standard or twisted rib and standard or Tubular Bind-off. Match your chosen style of Rib & Bind-off on Hem, Cuffs & Neckline.
