Daring Halter Top knitting pattern.

Daring Halter Top
You will need: 4 skeins (50 grams each) cotton/acrylic blend worsted weight
yarn.
1 size 9 circular needle, 24 inces long.
1 pair size 7 needles (straight or circular).

Working with a double strand of yarn, make a stockinette swatch with size 9
needles, and check your gauge. If it is not 31\2 stitches per inch across,
change your needle size to match it.

Cast on 54(60) stitches onto size 9 circular needle. Work in knit 2, Purl 2
ribbing until piece measures 2 (3) inches.

Knit in stockinette stitch for 2 inches. Your entire piece should measure
4(5) inches. You will now begin to decrease.

Row 1: k1 , k2tog, k until 3 stitches remain on your needle, slip 1, knit 1,
pass slipped stitch over, knit last stitch.
Row 2: Purl.
Repeat these two rows 19 times until 16 (20) stitches remain on the needles.
You will decrease 2 stitches every time you repeat row.

Bind off .
Make the halter ties by using size 7 needles to pick up 3 stitches per tie
from edge of the halter.
Knit each tie in garter stitch, using a single strand of yarn, until it is
11 inches long.
Weave in and trim the loose ends.

If you try it please e-mail me and let me know how it works out.
directions are small and med.
Good luck I hope you enjoy this pattern. Knit it up before the next heat
weave ..
Take Care all.

Pattern for Twiggy, perhap?

This sounds like an interesting pattern! Unfortunately, the most daring I
get these days is to leave the top button of my cardigan open.

Well, this sounds interesting. I have sent it to myself. Just out of
curiosity, what sizes are "small" and "medium"?
I am in no rush to make it, as our temps are dropping to -36°C again
tonight.
