This is a pattern for a Sailor Top, originally published in Knitting magazine. I don t have the issue number but it is early summer 2011. It is based on a 1920 s style top. It is in stocking stitch stripes with rib edges, a rib wide tie at the neck held in a loop. Actual bust: 37-52ins, length: 23 1/4 -26 ins. You will need: 8(8:9:9:10:10:11:11) x 50 gm balls main, 3 (3:3:4:4:4:4:4) x 50 gm balls contrast, and a 3.75mm needle. The yarn has now been discontinued. Any yarn knitting to this standard DK tension can be used.
