ABOUT DESIGN AND PATTERN
Sonja brings the “been around forever” thermal undershirt to a new level. It was inspired by the relaxed look and shape of my favorite thermal undershirt, always comfortable to wear. The Tiny Bamboo Stitch simulates the waffle texture on thermal undershirts. The sample is knit in one hundred percent luxurious silk which bumps the traditional shirt up to an elegant category but keeps the relaxed look. The sleeves are set-in with a slight drop off the shoulders. The neckband and cuffs are worked in ribbing, with no ribbing on the lower edge, making it similar to a thermal undershirt. The easy to follow pattern includes:
• Schematic for each piece
• A helpful tracking sheet
• Diagrams and full explanations for techniques
• A link for substitute yarn
• A pattern helpline
