Talisman Light
Talisman Light
Le patron est disponible en français
A few years ago I thought that knitted top were not for me as I’m always TOO hot!
I thought that a wool blend would make me sweat even more.
I was pleasantly surprised to realise that I was completely wrong!
Since changing my mind, cotton and wool blend yarns are usually on my needles when March roll around.
This year I have been playing with Robinson from De Rerun Natura, a blend of 50% recycled cotton + organic merino d’Arles, to create a very flattering minimalist summer top.
Talisman Light is worked top-down, starting with a provisional cast-on on the shoulders. Front and back are worked separately, then joined together once the center mediating worked in a wrapped stitch has been done.
The body is then continued in stockinette stitch.
Hemline and armholes are then finished with an I-cord stitch whilst the deep v-neck opening is left raw.
I hope that you will enjoy making a version for yourself or a loved one, and that your little talisman will adorn you in the warmer months!
