Surfline Top
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Kitted short sleeve tee inspired by the beauty of the sea spray of waves running along an island shore and the mesmerizing color contrast of the sea at noon. One can see the foam on top of the waves at the surf line near the beach at the top of the yoke and the beautiful “white horses” formed away from and shore in the lower part of the body.
CONSTRUCTION
The piece is knitted top down, seamlessly, with round scalloped yoke. After the sleeves separation the body is worked straight, in the round. The design provides for minimum ease of approx. 5 cm so it is advisory to go up a size if more ease is required.
The scalloped yoke features textured design combined with mosaic colorwork, while the bottom of the body is embellished with an extremely simple fair isle colorwork combined with textured design based on the traditional feather and fan pattern.
YARN
The design is intended for a 10 ply / aran / worsted cotton or cotton blend to ensure enough structure and texture but still preserve the “summer” look and feeling.
Necessary yarn:
Color A: Drops Paris 350 (400, 400, 450, 500, 550) gr (light turquoise, color 2)
Color B: Drops Paris 50 (50, 50, 50, 100, 100) gr (white, color 16)
INSTRUCTIONS
All stitch patterns are both charted and with written instructions to facilitate knitting the top by all types of knitters.
