Kit includes:
- All the yarn needed for sizes 1-10.
- Finished body circumference: 83 (92.5, 101.5, 113, 122, 133.5) {142, 152, 162.5, 172}, with 2.5-11.5cm of positive ease.
- Our choice of C1-C4 are shown from left to right in our images.
Pattern not included but available on Ravelry.
Our modifications (optional):
- Deb is wearing a size 3 in the Plumage colourway.
- Used 3.5mm and 4mm needles, as Poet is slightly plumper than the specified yarn.
- Omitted the body dots to highlight the beauty of the variegated yarn—there’s enough yarn to include them if you prefer.
- Lengthened the body by 10cm, as the original top is very cropped.
- Added two rows of C3 to the body hem and cast off—this was due to only using one skein of C1 (the pattern specifies two skeins for this size, but one was enough with this adjustment).
We’ve provided yarn quantities to make your Soldotna longer, as the original is quite short!
Tools needed (not included):
- 3.5mm & 4mm circular knitting needles (or the size needed to give you the correct gauge)
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for sewing in ends
This top is an absolute joy to knit—the mesmerising colourwork will keep you hooked! Grab a kit and cast on today!
