Holiday Halter
From the description: A cool celebration of colour, this random-striped open-backed top is a beautiful way to try out an unusual cotton yarn, or it’s a good way to use up stash of a similar weight. We’ve mapped out our stripe pattern below, but feel free to do what you like—it’s your holiday, so you make the rules.
Finished measurements:
- Length: 62 (63, 63, 64, 64) cm/24.5 (24.75, 24.75, 25.25, 25.25)”
- Bust: 76 (86, 96, 106, 116) cm/30 (33.75, 37.75, 41.75, 45.5)”.
- Shown in 96 cm (37.75)”
Yarn requirements: in colours shown:
- 1 ball each of 204/Lentil (A), 205/Goldenrod (B), 206/Peony (C), 305/Lemongrass (D), 406/Lilac (E);
- 1 (1, 1, 1, 2) balls 202/Cardinal (F);
- 1 (1, 1, 2, 2) balls each in 208/Merlot (G), 302/Wintergreen (H), 402/Sea (I), 407/Aubergine (J); 203/Cosmos (K), 207/Chili (L),
- 1 (1, 2, 2, 2) balls each in 405/Phlox (M);
- 2 (2, 3, 3, 3) balls 403/Sky (N).
Yardage figures are for a striped halter as shown. If knitting a solid colour top, you will need far fewer balls of yarn than if knitting in the stripe pattern.
