FREE Pattern Thursday
Hi Everyone
This week’s FREE pattern is a lovely Edie Eckman design. The Summer Breeze Top is knit using Universal’s Cotton Supreme.
The flattering shape of this top is accented with lovely stitch details including a basketweave cable and diamond lattice. This is a more challenging knit but not one that should intimidate you. If you’ve never tackled cabling before I would suggest taking the time to do a practice swatch for the stitch patterns just to get the feel for them.
Cotton Supreme is 100% cotton and feels simply wonderful.
It knits at 4-5 sts/inch on a US 7-9 needle. Each 100 gm hank has 180 yards and costs only $8.00! That means this garment can be made for as little as $24.00 and up to $48.00 for the largest size.
Enjoy!
Kathy
