For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
This dickie top is a fantastic hybrid between an accessory and a garment, featuring a striking wavy pattern and a folded turtle neck. It is the perfect in-between project as it is not as involved as knitting a sweater but is just as effective in the outcome. With lots of techniques to learn, Valerie Ng uses a unique Soumak stitch in this design and gives two length options for the back piece – a regular version the same length as the front, or a cropped version.
Deep Sea Dickie uses Lore skeins for the main body and Lore minis for the weaving pattern, held double throughout. This honest woollen-spun yarn is made from 100% Kent lambswool that is sourced and produced in England. It blooms beautifully after washing making it perfect for this colorwork project.
Main/Background Yarn:
The Fibre Co. Lore (100% lambswool, 250 m (273 yd) per 100 g hank) in shade Reliable – 3 [3: 4] hanks. For the cropped version – 2 [3: 3] hanks.
Weaving Yarn:
The Fibre Co. Lore Minis (100% lambswool, 65 m (68 yd) per 25 g ball) in shades Caring (A) – 1 [1: 1] ball, Pensive (B) – 1 [1: 1] ball, and Confident (C) – 1 [1: 1] ball – for both regular and cropped versions.
Note: The number of hanks shown for each variant under the Choose your size section is the total number of 100 g hanks and 25 g balls included in the kit.
