By Liz Nields
SKU: K1SU07_22 (1119)

Pattern description from Knit.1, Summer 2007:
“The key to Liz Nields’s ribbed halter, in fiery ‘Bamboo Silk’ from The Great Adirondack Yarn Company, lies in the dual keyhole openings: Work the bodice flat, then gather the open stitches at beginning and end together into a circular keyhole. Pick up stitches and knit the bottom band in the round along the bodice; this creates a triangular second keyhole when the pieces are attached.”

Stuff:

• 4 skeins in Oulie Orange of Bamboo Silk by The Great Adirondack Yarn Company, 4oz/113g skeins , each approx 232yd/212m (silk/bamboo)
• One pair size 3 (3mm) needles or size to get the gauge
• One pair size 3 (3mm) circular needle, 24 or 29”/60 or 75cm long

The Measurements:

• X-Small (Small, Medium, Large)
