Lapis Asymetrical Top
)
)
Knit a box of jewels in this flattering top. Every possible yarn works
here, including ribbons, wools and tapes. Use a hank of the multimedia
yarns like Prism or Alp and add in a few stash items to create the rich
textured effect. The asymmetrical lines slim most figures and the design
could be worn as a vest for a more casual look. Try it with a turtleneck.
)
Knit from side to side on size 8mm /US 11 needles, the top gradually
increases along the bottom edge for the asymmetrical shaping but can
easily be modified to a straight-bottomed shell. A band is picked up
and knit along the bottom edge with 5 mm/ Us 13 needles.
Sizing is loose: Small fits chest sizes 32-34”, Medium fits 36-38” chest
and Large fits 40-42” chest. To increase the size of your top further,
consistently use bulkier yarns or move to a larger needle.
Stitches are a random mix of seed, garter and stockinet.

Field of Dreams
)
Call it a poncho, if you must, but, to me, this is another kind of shrug,
one which knits quickly on big needles and simple stitches. Flattering
to most, this one-size-fits-all design could top a sweater for chilly
days or keep bare arms richly clothed for evening. Depending on yarn
choice, it can be either subdued and monochromatic in a single yarn or
more dramatic in multiple fibers. Give it a little sparkle and you have
the perfect hands-free shawl for special occasions. The suggested ingredient
list calls for appropximately 250 yards of mixed fiber which includes
tapes, ribbons, silks, cottons -- anything. The pattern's suggested yarn
list offers three colorways: Tuscan fields (shown, which includes a color & stitch
map) plus Night Vision and Marine Mirage, with photographs to be posted
on website. Do you have stash ends hanging around? Here's a project to
call that yarn to action.
The garment is worked on size 8mm/11 US needles in two pieces then joined
at the shoulders and under the arms. It measures 55 inches in length
from sleeve edge to sleeve edge and 15 inches in width from cast-on edge
to neck opening. The tyranny of gauge is banished from this design --
free-range knitters rejoice! It couldn’t be simpler. The magic
is in the yarn combinations.
*Front and back are exactly the same
