Looking for knit top for stripes No horizontal stripes for me!
halleyscomet   Intermediate PA USA Member since 3/27/07 Posts: 1390	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/23/12 4:41 PM In my mystery bundle they sent me a pretty teal colored knit with a thin black stripe. The stripes run horizontally and I don't do horizontal stripes anywhere on this bod! It stretches alot on the lengthwise and does have some stretch on the crosswise grain so I think I can run the stripes vertically. I want to sew a short sleeve knit top and some knit black pants. I'm searching through all my knit top patterns and all I have is tops with little raglan sleeves. Is it possible to match up the stripes on this style of top? Can anyone suggest a cute knit top?

In fact, knit tops with thin horizontal stripes are very "in" right now. I'd just pick a simple scoop or boatneck t-shirt pattern for the fabric that you're describing. ------ --Michelle *** Blog: http://happilycaffeinated.blogspot.com/

I think it came out pretty interesting. I like silhouette pattern yoga pants for a simple yet versatile pair of knit pants. My pattern review ------ www.lolitapatterns.com
