Product description

Subtle as a watercolor sky, Shui-mo’s ombre blanket fronts employ six shades of Loft. Two strands are held together and the colors shift one strand at a time to achieve a smooth gradient. The stockinette fronts, knit sideways from the side seam, are allowed to curl open and form a gentle A-line shape that layers gracefully. All pieces are worked flat, and slim set-in sleeves provide a tailored fit.

    CONSTRUCTION

    • The back and sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up, in Color 1 only. The fronts are worked from side to side, beginning at the side seam edge with Color 1, switching colors in an ombré fashion, and ending at the center front edge with Color 6. The pieces are blocked first, then sewn together.
    • The yarn is held double throughout.

    SIZES 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

    • 16½ (18¼, 20¼, 22, 24, 26)” back width from center of underarm to center of underarm
    • Approximately 33 (36½, 40½, 44, 48, 52)” circumference at chest with fronts overlapping
    • Sample shown is size 36½” with + 3½” ease on model

    GAUGE

    • 17 stitches & 25 rows = 4″ in stockinette stitch with two strands of yarn held together, after blocking


    Note: Both stitch and row gauge are important; since the fronts are worked side-to-side, the number of rows worked determines the width of the pieces.
