Roosty Tank Top
There is a mistake in the charted pattern in the annual - round 21, stitch 15 should be FC38.
Roosty is a boxy cropped Fair Isle tank top that incorporates Shetland techniques and motifs, finished with clean twisted ribs and tubular cast-offs.
I don’t often work with blues, but combining these sea shades of
Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight with sharp orange tones
reminded me of rusting (roosty!) metals in the sea.
You’ll enjoy an authentic Shetland experience while knitting this piece.

Pattern Notes
Tank top is knit in the round from the bottom up using steeks at the arm and neck holes. The steeks are knit in a
stripe pattern. which is used as a guide during finishing. When the garment is complete, cast off steeks, then work
one row of crochet either side of the middle steek stitch. Carefully cut through the centre stitch of each steek to
finish. A tubular cast off is used for stretchy neck and armholes.
