Susan used a new spring yarn, Canyon. It is a sport weight yarn made from pima cotton with a hint of alpaca, which makes a smooth and silky summer blend.
Normally, to get a zigzag look, you would need to do color work or a chevron stitch pattern. But Susan was very clever and used the combination of mitered squares with stripes to achieve this look.
She was also able to construct the garment by picking up and knitting along the edges of some of the squares, which means less finishing (always a good thing!).
Tanks are always a great addition to any spring/summer wardrobe. I can envision this one under a jacket, or just as is with jeans or a long skirt.
knit.wear is available now as a digital download here and will be on newsstands April 2nd.
