Moss is a meshy top that adds texture to your wardrobe from spring to autumn, think beach in the summer and layers in the autumn…
The hem rests neatly on the hips while the mesh skims over your curves.
Knit from the top down the shoulders are joined by a provisional cast on. The chest is knit flat joining under the arms and then knit in the round. The sleeve and neckline ribbing is added after blocking.
On my blog jadefletcherknits.wordpress.com you have special access to extra tutorials, tips, tricks and expanded explanations. Some tutorials are public but things specific to this pattern need the included password.
There is 5cm (2“) positive ease built into the top. Choose your size by your ‘actual bust’. Or use the finished garment measurements on the pattern.
You need to knit and block a swatch of Eyelet Moss to ensure you have the right gauge. As a lace it is much smaller before blocking, the wearer might not even squeeze into it prior to blocking. I have a great tutorial on making this gauge swatch accurately on my blog.
