Slanty Stripes

This slightly cropped, v-neck, stripey top is perfect as a tank or layered as a vest! The front and back are constructed separately from the bottom up with slanted intarsia color changes. The shoulders are joined using a three needle bind off, then the sides are seamed up leaving a split hem at the bottom. The neck and armholes are finished using an i-cord edging. This is a great beginner intarsia pattern! The color changes are simple, and video tutorials are included with the pattern. **Yarn —** Fingering weight yarn in 1 main color (MC) and 5 contrast colors (CC).
