Notes

This is a magic pattern! One of those patterns that you never know how will it turn out:) And my bamboo yarn has the same character!:) After frogging my khaki top - 1 (loved tenderly) I couldn’t stop thinking how to use this yarn. My first and the most frequent thought was to throw it out… But I love green colour and it stopped me. And once the decision arrived!
Because this one is planned as a base model I didn’t add any décor on. But next time I’d like to add something specific to the main pattern.

I love the way the pattern is written, but knitted it intuitively, trying the top hundreds times.

My gauge is 22x30 = 10cm. And my size is…well, don’t know exactly. I decided to knit size S (don’t know why, by the way) with some mods.

  1. I added 7 rows before joining front and back.

  2. I knit 25 rows instead of 15 after waist shaping.

  3. For the end (since I won’t it be rolled) I knit till the desired length, then purl one row then knit a few row, turn it back and sewed.

  4. For the armholes. 1 crocheted row.

So far I like how it turned out. Hope, where won’t be any surprise after washing:)

And I desperately need to go to safari to make good pictures!!!!:))
