Sizes: 36 1/2" (39 1/2" - 42 1/2" - 46 1/2" - 51 1/2" - 56" - 61") finished garment chest measurement
This sleeveless top with intarsia lace inserts adds a bit of feminine detailing to an otherwise simple knit tank. Eyelet lace details are knit into place with lacey scallops quickly and easily embroidered to the surface.
Body of the hand knit sleeveless top is worked in one piece up to the armholes. Diagonal eyelet inserts are knit in place intarsia-style. Bottom, armhole, and neckline edges are all finished with hand knit eyelet edging. Narrow shoulders lend a slenderizing appearance.
I used my usual sock yarn, 5/2 perle cotton (2100 yds per lb / 24-26 wraps per inch). The fine cotton feels cool against the skin even on the most humid Texas day, although it would also look outstanding in any other yarn which produces a gauge of 8 sts x 11 rows per inch on Size 2 US needles. This produces a stable gauge in the cotton which maintains its shape, not distorting or stretching as for garments knit at too loose a gauge.
Required Yardage: 800 [950, 1110, 1265, 1445, 1625, 1850] yds Main color, and 21 [25, 30, 34, 38, 43, 49] yds White
