KNitters - I'm looking for a woman's tank top pattern

[pointydog]

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am looking for a knitting pattern for a scoop necked tank top (very low, would wear another top underneath), maybe aranny/fair isley type, funky looking.

Would be for me to wear but my mum will knit. I don't know where to start looking for hip patterns. ANy online sites?

knitty this is the archive.
lionbrand do some good ones.
And berroco

Actually, these berroco ones are more suited to your description. Knitty is by far the hippest, supposedly.

thnaks ranting. Actually that knitty cherry twist one is just lovely. It's got crochet in it, and I know my mum doesn't do crochet. I'll carry on looking.

I just found one I didn't think was too bad on a site called laughing hens, a rowan pattern (I'm also worried about american instructions for my mum) this although not scoop neck

Your mum could probably easily make it a scoop neck, just cast off more stitches at the v point than the pattern states. I have a similiar pattern somewhere but it is a 70s one, think that has a scoop neck.

the models on that knitty site are so refreshing, such a mix of sizes

I'll maybe speak to my mum about it. The pattern is in a book. Do you know if it's usually possible to buy a single pattern of ones that appear in a book?

I've got this Rowan magazine but i suspect the neck isn't scooopy enough for you

They use contributors to model, I think, as do interweave knits. here, almost forgot those.

great minds thinks alike...

CAT me and I'll post you a copy if you like pointy, x

ah bundlke - that's the pattern I've just been looking at! I would prefer itmore scoopy, yes, but then you never get exactly what you want, do you. I do like that one.

I can't find single rowan patterns. am not sure I've ever seen single ones.

thanks bundle. Ive never done catting before. Ill come back to this this evening and look it up. Thanks very much

will dig it out and try to photocopy on monday and have a trawl through my other books for you

If you want directions for changing the neckline, I'll be happy to help you. You'll have to email me a copy of the pattern but, I can rewrite the neck instructions for you, no problem.

ok, I have to pay £5 subscription to get CAT. I am tight but I will do it by end pof weekend

Couple spring to mind, that I've seen knitted up: (hope I can get the links to work!)

Twilleys Freedom Spirit dkhere in red with beret (scroll down)

"Cambride" by Martin Storey from Rowan RY Classic Alpaca (on here) also a vest called "Shetland".

Debbie Bliss is often good for some fancy cabling see here for "Catriona" from Rialto book, Rialto is a DK yarn too.

any good?

oo granny. Nice. I couldn't find the shetland vest (only hat, scarf and men's), do you know if there is a woman's version? I quite like fair isle stuff.

and I like teh neck on twilley's lacy stripe jumper. Would be easy enough to knit a jumper sleeveless, wouldn;t it?

It would be dead easy to miss the sleeves off something, yes- your mum would just need to pick up stitches around the arm and do a border like whatever is round the neck. Should be simple

pointy I'll cat you

let me find my card....

oh hang on, I might have to subscribe and pay, no? I haven't done that yet.

I never imagined I would start this CAT business, especially not because of woollens

don't worry pointy i need to do mine anyway, had ot get a new debit card because of fraud, so had delayed a bit

so I don't pay because you;re catting me? Is that how it works?

You only have to pay to send CATs, pointy. Bundle, if you haven't renewed I could CAT pointy for you and then forward it if you like?

just being lazy tamum! am watching Inn of Sixth Happiness on DVD...mothersdayheaven!
will do subs after finished earl grey/mini choc eclair, x
