LOMST

............................................ LOMST
 {Looking Over My Shoulder Tank}


 ............................................ Craving a versatile, ultra-wearable wardrobe staple? ...but also a project infused with a dose of intrigue? Well, I can promise you one thing: This pattern will have you looking
 over your shoulder the entire time. Because the shoulder is what it's all about. 

 A crewneck sweater-vest with saddle shoulders, LOMST was designed as an essential building block for any wardrobe. The seamless top-down construction is intuitive to follow, with the shoulder shaping adding interest both to the knitting process and to the finished garment’s aesthetic. 

 Options are provided for classic fitted shoulders, as well as for a 'longline' drop-shoulder style, if you are that way inclined. Are you a process knitter or a product knitter? 
 If you answered Yes, this pattern will be just perfect!
