Twinset tank and cardi are two complimentary patterns that both use lace edging detail-the tank at the bottom, the cardigan on the sleeves. Look for the cardigan pattern soon.

Paired with the cardigan, this is a three season garment, which is ideal when going in and out of air conditioning. The pattern is written for a one set twelve row repeat of lace, but you can customize by adding repeats.

Worked from bottom up, the neck shaping is done after the sleeve separation when the garment is knit flat.

Our samples are knit in dk weight yarn, with Gedifra Cuor di Cotone or Juniper Moon Farm Zooey, the former with all cotton content and the latter with a cotton linen blend. For a jazzier look, check out the allover lace sample done in KPC Glencoul (a cotton- wool blend) held together with Ito Kin Gin for extra sparkle. If using Kin Gin or any carry along, you need the same yardage as the other yarn.

If you have never done lace before, this is a good pattern to start. The lacework is simple, using yo’s and decreases and there is not a lot of it, so you can get your feet wet but not drown.
