This skin-baring camisole is perfect for Summer. Short rows and partial rows create the fit as well as the flame patterning. Two background colors, worked as short row wedges, are separated by a contrasting flame pattern.

The flames are created with a series of partial rows sweeping first one direction in rightside side rows. To accomplish the task, each individual row must have a separate strand of yarn; a stripe two rows high is worked with two individual strands.

The colors across the back are worked from the balls of yarn; in front you’ll add butterflies or yarn bobbins where the stripes become wider. In this technique, no strands are ever crossed because the striping sequence reverses as the sweep changes direction.
