This is a twinset made from the round
neck cardigan and the slash neck, cap sleeved summer top shown below, here
they are both shown here
in the striped version, but instructions are also given for plain versions
of both garments.
Knitted in Sable Crepe and available in sizes
34"-42". (Larger sizes are in Book 14).
|
 |
Here is the same round neck cardigan
knitted in just one colour, it could be worn with either the striped or
plain version of the cap sleeved top or with any of the other tops in this
book.
Knitted in stocking stitch in Sable Crepe and available in
sizes 34"-42". (Larger sizes are in Book 14).
|
 |
A cap sleeve is an easy and quick
way to make a short sleeved top, instructions for plain and striped versions are given.
This is a
very quick top to make as the neckline is simply cast off and allowed to
roll outwards. Knitted in stocking stitch in 4 ply Acrylic Crépe and
available in sizes 34"-42".
(Larger sizes are in Book 14 but the
garment is slightly different).
|
 |
Classic tuck stitch top with V front and
V back, making it cooler for summer wear. This evening top will coordinate perfectly with the round neck
cardigan above. Knitted in 4 ply Acrylic crépe and available in sizes 34"-42". |
|
Easy to wear, classic summer top. Designed with
V neck and square armholes, the body of this top is knitted in
stocking stitch whilst the short sleeves may be knitted in either stocking
stitch or your favourite lace pattern. Knitted in 4 ply Acrylic
crépe and
available in sizes 34"-42".
(Larger sizes are in Book 14). This
summer top also coordinates with the cardigan above.
|
|
A sleeveless tuck stitch top and, again,
the neckline is simply cast off and allowed to roll inwards giving a
smooth, modern look.
Perfect on its own for summer or as part of a summer
twinset, this top would also look classy knitted in cream and worn under a
navy blue cardigan for the classic French summer look, or with a russet
coloured cardigan in the autumn.
Knitted in 4 ply Acrylic Crépe and
available in sizes 34"-42"
|
| These garments were all
designed for, and knitted in, 4 ply Acrylic crepe (supplied by Bonnies or
Bramwells); this yarn has a twist which gives the resultant fabric a more
crisp look and a bright sheen. Bramwell's Artistic can usually be
substituted and it may be worth trying an Acrylic/cotton mix, such as
Yeoman's Panama, which will also give a crisper look but with less sheen. |
