Oculine Top

The Oculine top is a negative-ease tank top with two variations: one with a keyhole neckline, and one without. It is constructed top down at a dense gauge with the option to add made to measure short rows for the bust. It slowly transitions from 1by1 ribbing to 3by3 ribbing. At the end, both the shoulders and neck are worked with double knitting. While this pattern has set sizing, many of the details are made to measure and utilize easy to use calculators on my website. There are also added instructional videos for unique/challenging parts. The samples, in the photos, are knit in size 2 and utilize holst garn coast held double. More color and ring info can be found on their project pages.
