Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2008: “Mari Lynn Patrick used an earthy palette of Be Sweet’s ‘Bamboo’ for the trio of colorowork techniques in her V-neck tank. She knit Fair Isle, slip-stitch rib and a mosaic scheme multidirectionally, further shaping the top with side wedges and short rows at the waist. An easy crochet trim finishes things nicely.”
