@2810, KNITTING PATTERN, Barcelona T style sweater top. Sizes: XS to 5XL

 #2810 - KNITTING PATTERN

BARCELONA T-SHIRT TOP,

Xsmall to 5XL

Make it with longish sleeves, short sleeves, or sleeveless!

 This is a very easy sweater to knit!! It is very lightweight using Barcelona yarn from Loops & Threads, or you could use any worsted weight yarn, or 2 strands of double knitting.  Barcelona is variegated, so it adds detail without any additional work! For the dimensional rows, I used Lion brand "THAT 70'S YARN", but any furry, fibrous, or fun yarn would be equally effective.

Again, adds detail interest without additional work!

INSTRUCTIONS:

My main focus with designing is to produce a pattern that requires the least amount of instructions, for ease of construction.You can find ALL my patterns on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/emi-harrington  Including over 500 FREE patterns.

shoulders and sides.

or 2 strands of dk yarn.

Wear the sleeves rolled up, or not.

2.  Work garter stitch for 10 rows. (knit every row)

3.  Knit across the row with a fluffy, furry, or other type of

fun yarn.  (Note: if using fun yarn, work with 1 strand of

fun yarn and 1 strand of the main color yarn for this row.)

 

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the work is long enough for the 

     width  of sleeves from shoulder to underarms:

(More or less rows below as required.)  

(And it is NOT IMPORTANT that you have exactly 

10 rows of garter stitch with the main color, 

anything goes, and it all looks great!)

XS: total of 27 rows;

3XL: total of 50 rows;

4XL: 56 rows;

5XL: 60 rows.

NOTE: for larger arms check the work against the arm, and it 

should reach from the shoulder to the underarm with some ease.

 

5.  Reduce for the body section.  Cast off the following 

     number of  stitches at the beginning  of the next 2 rows.

XS -Small: 15 stitches

6.  Continue in the pattern of 10 rows + 1 row furry yarn until the 

      length of the sweater is achieved.  Cast off.

 

Make 2 sections,

join at the shoulder (leaving an opening large enough to pass over the head),

sew side seams (enclosing the yarn ends into the seam),

weave all yarn ends into the finished work.
