Garment Patterns

A classic tank top that combines stockinette with narrow stripes of garter. It is a simple stitch repeat that encourages meditative knitting. The cotton fine yarn is soft and cool pima cotton with just a touch of the softest merino wool, which gives resilience to the yarn. This pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the front and back are separated for shaping the yoke and rejoined at the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck and armhole trim. The yarn is wonderful to work with and your creation will feel wonderful against your skin.

This could be the sweater your favorite guy or gal will like so much that he or she passes it down someday to a son, daughter, nephew, niece, protégé or grandchild.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker 

Designer Knitting Pattern
The sweater pattern uses a progression that changes from light to dark as you knit down, making the shoulders look bigger and the waist smaller. Who wouldn’t like that? Designed for durable, bulky-weight yarn, this pattern knits up very fast on large needles, so enjoy making it while you can, as you will finish quickly.

A top-down design, knitting starts with the neck shaping, followed by raglan shaping which helps to create a tailored look while working the yoke of the sweater—front, back and sleeves—all at once and in the round. Like all top-down sweaters that are knitted in one piece without seams, you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length—as you knit. Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of  top-down knitting instructions.

This pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. The pattern also includes my proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on my web site.

Yarn Recommendations
Lana Knit’s allhemp6 – DK – 100% hemp, eco-yarn

Long line flax is wet spun for vibrant color, outstanding drape, longevity and colorfast with ultimate softness and sheen. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And hemp is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. It’s a sustainable crop and an acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none. Hand or machine wash, lay flat to dry or tumble dry.
