Top-Down Short Sleeve Tops Pattern Collection
This is a pattern collection of the Lattice Pullover and Diamond-Back Top patterns, at a discounted price. You can find more information about each sweater by following the links above, or purchase either pattern separately for $6.00.
Purl ribs radiate out from the neck of this pullover, interlacing in a lattice pattern at the waist and the sleeve hem. Worked seamlessly from the neck down, this is a quickly finished project despite the lightweight yarn. The all-over rib pattern will provide a body-conscious fit if you choose a size with no ease or negative ease. The lattice pattern is both written out and charted, and instructions are given for working with or without a cable needle.
This pattern is sized from 33" to 58" bust and has a gauge of 27 sts to 4" in K2P6 rib using a DK weight yarn. The yardage required ranges from 780 to 1430 yards. The yarn shown is Katia Linen.
This wardrobe-staple v neck top has the added detail of a diamond lace panel running down the back. Knit seamlessly from the neck down, it has waist shaping for a flattering fit. Please note that the extra length on larger sizes is made by a longer Double Moss Stitch band at the hem. If you use a yarn that is very drapey like the one pictured, choose a size that is 2-3" smaller than you would actually like, since the weight of the yarn will cause it to fall away from the body.
This pattern is sized from 31" to 50.5" bust and has a gauge of 19 sts to 4" in Stocking Stitch using worsted weight yarn. The yardage required ranges from 630 to 1060 yards. The yarn shown is Berroco Linen Jeans.
