Product Description
Put Together is a seamless tank worked from the bottom up.The body is worked in the round to the beginning of the neck shaping, and then the straps are worked flat and grafted together.
Although the finished fabric is reverse stockinette stitch, the tank is worked inside out until the finishing stage to minimize purling.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING YARN SUBSTITUTION: This tank is designed to be knit at a looser gauge than the label says. A worsted weight yarn won't drape like the original, even if the gauge is right. Sport or light DK weight yarn is recommended.
In Tosh Sport, this tank requires 3 (3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) skeins MC and less than 1 skein CC for all sizes.
Only 30 to 75 yards of CC are required (depending on size), so it would be a great use for a small amount of handspun yarn or high-end leftovers!
Put Together Waistcoat by Triona Murphy
What is Being Made
Put Together is a knitted waistcoat (sleeveless vest) designed by Triona Murphy. This garment is available in seven sizes ranging from XS to 3X, with finished bust measurements from 30 inches (76 cm) for XS up to 54 inches (137 cm) for 3X. The sample shown in the pattern is size S, modeled with approximately two inches of negative ease for a fitted silhouette.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This waistcoat is constructed using circular needles, which allow for seamless or nearly seamless knitting in the round. The pattern employs a two-color knitting technique, incorporating both a main color and a contrasting color to create visual interest in the finished garment. The design is worked at a deliberately looser gauge than typical sport weight yarn recommendations, which creates superior drape and fabric fluidity compared to standard gauge knitting.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches including knit and purl stitches. The knit side of the fabric, which displays the characteristic V-shaped pattern created by knit stitches, is referred to as the KS (Knit Side) throughout the pattern instructions.
Yarn and Materials
The Put Together waistcoat is designed to be knitted with sport weight yarn. The recommended yarn is Madelinetosh Tosh Sport, which is composed of 100% superwash merino wool. Each skein provides 270 yards (247 meters) and weighs 115 grams. Yardage requirements vary by size: XS through L sizes require 3 skeins of the main color (Moorland), while 1X, 2X, and 3X sizes require 4 skeins of the main color. All sizes require 1 skein of the contrasting color (Iris).
Important note regarding yarn substitution: This pattern is specifically designed to be knitted at a looser gauge than the yarn label specifications. Substituting a worsted weight yarn is not recommended, as it will not achieve the same drape characteristics as the original design, even if the gauge matches. Sport weight or light DK weight yarn is strongly recommended for optimal results.
Needles Required
- US #6 [4.0mm] circular needle, 20 or 24 inches long
- US #7 [4.5mm] circular needle, 20 or 24 inches long
Knitters should check the pattern gauge and adjust needle sizes as needed to achieve the correct finished measurements for their chosen size.
Difficulty Level
Put Together is classified as an intermediate-level knitting project, suitable for knitters with foundational skills in basic stitches and circular needle techniques.
