Lunas WaveTank | knitting pattern | knitted top, summertop

Lunas WaveTank is plain and cheerful at the same time. The upper part is proximal and kept simple, while the lower part features wavy stripes in contrasting colours. The wave pattern gives the piece a playful touch and makes it a real eye-catcher.
Lunas Wave Tee is knitted from top to bottom. First, cast on stitches for the back and work in rows, before working increases on both sides for the armholes. The stitches for the right and left front will be picked up out of
the cast-on row of the back part and will be worked separately. After joining the fronts, which are also worked in rows, increases are worked for the armholes, too. When back and front are finished, stitches will be cast on under the arm for closing your work into the round. The body will be worked in rounds with increases for an A-line. The wave-part will be worked at the end. Cuffs and collar will be worked with a short garter stitch section.

This pattern is for advanced beginners. The sections are described row by row, the pattern is given as a chart and written instructions as well.
