CatamaranDesigned by Rachel Brockman Every summer wardrobe needs easy, breezy, sleeveless tops. They’ll take you from a morning beach stroll to an afternoon shopping on the boardwalk. Catamaran is a perfect top for wearing alone or layering with a button-up shirt for chilly days. Cotton Supreme Sapling is soft and comfortable, with a gentle texture that reminds us of ripples on the surface of the ocean. Catamaran is a relaxing knit, but the broken stockinette stitch patterns will keep you interested as you work.DIFFICULTYEasySIZESExtra Small (Small, Medium, Large, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X)Shown in Medium size with approx. 6” of positive ease.FINISHED MEASUREMENTSBust: 31 (35¼, 39¾, 44¼, 48½, 53, 57½, 61¾, 66¼)”Length: 21½ (22, 22½, 23½, 24, 24½, 25½, 26, 26)”MATERIALSUniversal Yarn Cotton Supreme Sapling (100% cotton; 100g/109 yds)• 803 Silken – 4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8) skeins (If you are knitting size Medium or 4X, please refer to the Pattern Notes for additional yarn requirement recommendations).Needles: US Size 10 (6 mm) 24-40” circular ndl or size needed to obtain gaugeWe recommend a 24” circular for size Extra Small, a 32” circular for sizes Small & Medium, and a 40” circular for sizes Large - 5X.Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch markers, stitch holders or waste yarnGAUGE14½ sts x 17 rows = 4” in Broken Stockinette stitchSave time, check your gauge.PATTERN NOTESSize Medium & 4X Yarn Requirements: The sample, size Medium, weighs approximately 396 grams.
