NOTE: Yarn substitution is not recommended for this style as the elastic and cotton combination in this yarn is an integral part of the design and fit. When not worn, the actual finished measurements will appear even smaller than when measured by gauge alone. The sizing achieves a perfect body-contouring fit.

From pattern description:


“Close-fitting sheath in 4-color tweed stitch styled with ruffled hem and ribbon ties.”

From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2006:


“There’s nothing shady about Mari Lynn Patrick’s oh-so-chic shift, stitched in Cascade Yarns’ stretchy ‘Fixation.’ A multicolor slip-stitch pattern creates the look of woven fabric; a length of ribbon woven in just below the bodice provides couture detailing.”
