PATTERN NOTES
This pattern is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. The body is knit flat in one piece and the shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind-off. The fronts and back are separated at the underarms and worked separately. Stitches for the front edging are picked up and worked flat, then sewn, overlapped, at the center back.

The Stripe Sequence is worked in the Shaker Rib pattern throughout. A visual chart for the Stripe Sequence is provided, along with a color-your-own version so that you can visualize the palette of your choice. We recommend breaking each contrast color after you complete the two stripes for its section. The MC can be carried throughout, breaking only when indicated in the pattern. Weave in ends as you go to save time during finishing.

Kingston Tweed is a subtle beauty in a palette inspired by nature.

Soft and warm, this muted blend of fibers is perfect for textured projects and colorwork. Garments and accessories with a natural look and feel are easy to achieve with Kingston Tweed.
