The new patterns from Knit One, Crochet Too are in stock! I am partial to the Mermaid Tee; I think it would be figure flattering for most body types, and I just like the way it looks. You knit this swingy little tee in strips (ten for the body and three for each sleeve) and then join the strips using the three needle bind off technique. Notice how that gives a little extra pop between the strips? The thought of not having to seam is appealing to me as well. See all the new Knit One, Crochet Too patterns by clicking on the link to Ty-Dy yarn below.
Now, to get to the real reason you are reading this post- the free pattern!Â
The pattern is a sweet, feminine top called the Lucia Tee and is available with the purchase of Ty-Dy yarn. It is knit in the round which is a bit unusual for Helene, and a nice treat for us. I think it’s absolutely adorable. It is a relatively simple knit, suitable for advanced beginners and should be quick enough to have done before summer really kicks in. Interested? Click on the pattern link above to find out how much yarn you will need; choose a color and place an order. You will be offered the pattern for free during the check-out process. We are working on re-stocking the yarn; if you wish to order a color that is low on stock please call us (1-800-426-5098 or 260-351-2260) and tell us what color you need and we’ll make sure we get enough to fill your order. Just a little head’s up- Ty-Dy prices are going up in July! That includes all members of the Ty-Dy family. Anything you order before then will be filled at the current price, but please do make sure to get your order in soon.
I really like the Lucia Tee and I think I may need to re-delegate some Ty Dy, that is being used in a project that I have not worked on in almost two years, to this project. As I have not worked on the project and kind of fought it when I did work on it, maybe it is time to just let that one rest and use the yarn some where else. It sure helps that this top is knit in the round and looks very cute. Only time will tell if I actually reuse the yarn for this new tee.
