ICHIGO TOP – english pattern
7,50€
‘Ichigo top’ is a beginner-friendly pattern for a summer tank top. I started working on it with some doubts while pregnant, but it turned out to be a very comfortable garment, with an elastic and comfy material that adapts to the body and fits beautifully. It is the top version of my ‘Ichigo bag’. Its name means ‘strawberry’ in Japanese, because the lace panel reminds me of wild strawberry climbing plants that climb and tangle decorating the garden. It’s knitted bottom up with circular needles and includes instructions for the lace pattern both in chart and written form.
