Gulfstream Tanktop
SIZES
The pattern includes 6 children sizes (from 1-2 y.o. to 10-12 y.o.) and 14 adult sizes for own bust cricumference of 82-153 cm/32-60”. Details on sizes & yardages can be found in the chart and schematics included into pattern photos.
CONSTRUCTION
Gulfstream is a high-hip A-line tank top with 3-4cm/1-1.5” of positive ease in the bust. On top of default moderate A-line, the pattern provides detailed instructions on how to calculate the desired flare yourself.
The top has a vertical decorative panel on the front and smaller ones along the side seams.
Main body is knit bottom-up flat in 3 pieces (Back + 2 Front Panels), then seamed together at the shoulders. The pieces are then joined at sideseams with decorative elements worked sideways in garter stitch, while at the same time doing armhole edging (with optional sleeve caps). Front Decorative Panel is also worked sideways (with German short-rows to create the wavy print), joining the two Front pieces, while also doing the neckline edging. Finish hem and neckline with either I-cord or garter edging.
In addition, there are notes on length adjustment in case you have a significantly different row gauge/ height.
YARN: sport-weight linen (~300-320m/330-350 yds per 100g/3.5oz) in 2-6 colors: 1 main (MC) + 1-5 contrast colors (CC) depending on your preference (see yardages per size in pattern photos).
The sample was knit out of Linen Assorti ‘Linen 3-ply thread’
Suggested substitutes:
• Quince & Co. Sparrow
• Karen Oberg ‘Kalinka’
• Katia ‘Lino 100%’
• BC Garn ‘Lino’
• Some testers substituted for Lana Grossa ‘Linea Pura Solo Lino’ and various cotton yarns – creates a denser fabric with lower drape. Row gauge will be
tighter than linen, so you will have to add extra rows and adjust the decorative panel accordingly.
NEEDLES:
• Main: 3.5-4mm/US4-6 (or size to get gauge!) circulars on a 60-80cm/24-32” cable;
• Decorative elements: 3-3.5mm/US2.5-4 (or 1 size smaller than the main) circulars on a 60cm/24” cable.
GAUGE (PER 1010CM/ 44” AFTER WET-BLOCKING)
• Stockinette: 20 stitches by 24 rows - slightly stretch length-wise to dry (without pinning) – on main needles;
• Garter stitch: 20 stitches by 40 rows - slightly stretch width-wise to dry (without pinning) – smaller needles
