You know that top in the shop that everyone touches and then says, “Wait… how did you DO that?”
That one.
Self-patterning yarn does all the heavy lifting here, shifting colors like a Lowcountry sunset that can’t make up its mind. The construction? Multi-directional. Slightly genius. Mildly mysterious. We tracked down this hard-to-find pattern because we, too, were obsessed.
In this class we will:
✨ Swatch. (Yes. On purpose. Possibly twice.)
✨ Break down the construction so your brain goes, “Ohhhhhh.”
✨ Practice joining pieces together with a crochet hook like the pattern requires
✨ Demystify the whole “knit in pieces but make it chic” situation
It’s knit flat. It’s assembled with crochet. It looks complicated. It is not witchcraft.
If you’ve been eyeing this tank thinking, “I could never…” You absolutely can. And we’re going to show you how.
Sign up before someone else claims your spot and you’re left staring at the mannequin again.
