Recycled Sweater Knit Shirt

**

Salvaged yarn from a thrift store find.

The yarn itself is probably meant for a US 6 needle, but I opted for the US 8 needles so the weave is loose and the piece is slightly sheer and lighter in weight.

It’s best to use a US 6 yarn with a US 8 needle to match my gauge, but this might be hard to do because my material is salvaged. Be sure to knit up a gauge swatch and use it to convert your dimensions into stitches needed.
