Skill level
Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
The Riptide Halter by Jennifer Shiels Toland is a modern summer knit, featuring alternating bands of textured rib and simple lace. Slightly cropped and designed for layering or standalone wear, it offers a flattering silhouette with clean lines. Integrated armhole edges transition seamlessly into broken rib side panels, a detail shared with its sister pattern, the Riptide Slipover. This top-down, seamless design includes two neckband options—looser fitting (shown on model) or tighter fitting (sits higher on the neck).
Knit in &Make DK, the Riptide Halter is elevated by the yarn’s unique blend of Highland wool, soft alpaca, and linen. This blend creates a breathable fabric with great stitch definition, making it the perfect choice for creating a versatile summer layer.
