1303 Crape Myrtle - Sweater Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Granville
Introducing the Valley Yarns Crape Myrtle, a must-have summer wardrobe essential that can elevate your knitting collection. This versatile v-neck tank top is perfect for wearing alone or layering over tees, button-downs, or dresses—making it an ideal piece for any summer occasion. Crafted from a luxurious blend of Pima cotton and Merino wool known as Granville, the Crape Myrtle boasts a soft and smooth texture that feels wonderful against the skin. With excellent stitch definition and a delightful stay-cool feel, this tank is designed to keep you comfortable and stylish during those warm summer days.
The Crape Myrtle is expertly knit in the round from the hem to the underarms, featuring elegantly tailored slipped-stitch columns that create sleek focal points at the sides as well as the center front and back. After completing the front and back separately, they are seamlessly joined at the shoulders using a three-needle bind-off technique. Additionally, an integrated trim along the neckline is extended to meet at the back neck, enhanced by the Kitchener stitch method for a polished finish.
With flexibility in design, you can opt for either a trendy cropped length or a flowy A-line tunic length, ensuring you'll find the perfect style to suit your preference. The beautiful palette of colors available in Valley Yarns Granville offers endless possibilities for creating your go-to summer tank. Whether you choose a striking Coral or a sophisticated Dark Teal, you’re sure to turn heads.
