It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Boxtop in Garden 10 (pattern link here).
Sometimes simple is good. That’s what we have here, a simple, boxy pullover, perfect over a tank top. The asymmetrical placement of the neck causes the hem to hang lower in the back than the front.
As shown, it uses Garden 10 mercerized Egyptian Giza cotton thread, loosely knitted on a US size 4 (3.5mm) needle. We think this piece would also look great in Flax Lace. Plant fibers provide a breathability and drape that work well with this sideways-knit top.
The body is knitted as a big rectangle, using intarsia for the color changes. Seam together the edges of the color blocks to create armholes. Easy work that’s good for knitting while chatting, but those color changes help keep things from getting dull.
This would be a great top to personalize with your own color choices. Black and blue? Peaches and cream? The sky’s the limit.
Happy crafting!
