This pattern is the Silence Tee by Ruth Nguyen and it was so pretty. It was a good chance to try a yarn base that was summery in Knit Picks Lindy Chain. We’ve had an extra hot summer here, and that influenced my choice! When I saw the colors available, Rouge and Conch jumped out…
9/6 update: I rock. In the time it took to watch Speed, I did 1.25 heels. That’s faster than ever, and the stitches look perfect. I took a break from these to work on one of my many planned Christmas presents, so they’ll take longer than if I were working non-stop, but they are coming…
I modified this pattern to be smaller since he was a preemie. I also carried a strand of Bernat Softee to make it use more of the color out of the booties that went along with it as a gift. I omitted the pompom and the top looked beautiful without it.
Cast on like I was doing a Tier of Ruffles and then changed it as I’ve gone along. Seems like it will turn into a boat-neck shape with a ribbon, and then float out from there with increases. Found Ribbon in my stash and turned down the edge to sew the ribbon inside. Blocking nicely.
