I had this beautiful cotton tape from Blue Heron. It weighed nine ounces. I knew I had enough to make a vest, probably a short-sleeved top, but I really needed the vest to wear with long-sleeved blouses. When I held it up to two of them, it looked great–a third, not so much, but some blue Crystal Palace I have does. I guess I’ll be making two vests.
I made a sample of four miters to see what I liked. My favorite is the one on the right, but it takes twice as long to produce. The garter stitch and stockinet were ‘ok’, so I went with the left one, knit three rows, purl one. I used a 5 needle and a 31 stitch base. They are 3 3/4 inches across. I may finish it with an attached I-cord.
It looks great so far.
