Archive of Thread: Knit Radar Summer Cotton Top Back

5 years ago

This turned out really cute and ended up fitting me perfectly after washing/drying. It shrunk just the right amount that I hoped it would after having treated the swatch the same way (17% shrinkage). Plus, the color did not fade/run at all, so YIPEE on that.  Made using Bonita 100% mercerized cotton yarn by Knitcraft.    Made with knit radar on Studio 280 standard using the French Sleeve pattern. Was easy to make, but putting on the trims was time-consuming.  Used Diana Sullivan's  Fold-Over Trim, except I didn't fold it over and just laid it flat and attached with backstitch.
