The Perry Polo is a top down fingering weight polo shirt. It is knit flat with intarsia color work. Both samples were knit with Hobbi Yarn Twister Solid (100g/437 yards) in two or three colors and US size 3 needles. The yarn says it’s Sport weight but I find it’s more of a fingering weight. The sleeves are set in and knit in the round. It is finished with five to seven 15mm buttons. The gauge is 24 stitches and 36 rows = 4 inches. It is meant to have around 1-4 inches of positive ease. I can’t wait to see what you create! Use #PerryPolo and tag me on Instagram @TurtlePanther.
