Kathryn Wrap Top

$6.00

Description

The Kathryn Wrap Top was inspired by a vintage sewing pattern. As this is a simple design, you can use your favorite yarn in DK or light worsted weight. The pattern testers used a variety of yarns that came out amazing, such as Loops & Threads Joy DK and Caron Simply Soft. Check out their tops here. Be sure to check your gauge before you begin! The Kathryn Wrap Top will show you how to use foundation stitches within the pattern and not just the first row. There is minimal seaming, and technically no seaming, if you chose to follow the alternative instructions within the pattern for attaching the ties. This is a size-inclusive design for X-Small through 5X-Large with tips for adjusting the length.  Pattern was tested for accuracy and fit by Rachel C., Cindy C., Darlene T., Denise C., Carol M., Marilyn S., Roeska B., Lynette N., Beverly F., and Latanya H.
