Tivoli Tee

Almost forgot, and now I remeber why. I love this pattern! (Note: Also available (with picot edging!) in the newest edition of Magknits here.) What I do not love is the (not so) subtle striping going on with the yarn. But that is my fault. You see, I bought this yarn off eBay over a year ago, seven skeins. I like it, but I couldn't figure out what to use it for, so I knit some of it up a couple of times, then ripped it out and rewound it. Apparently, the couple of washings faded the color a bit, because now the different colors have created wide stripes. The shades are just different enough to be noticeable, not different enough to look like I meant them to be stripes.


Yarn: Novita Brilla (same as yarn of same name by Filatura di Crosa), about 6 balls
Pattern: Tivoli Tee by Grumperina sized for 31" bust
Needles: US size 6 circ, E4 crochet hook for trim
Comments: Yay for negative ease. I'm a 34" bust, but the 31" top fits perfectly with the little bit of stretch. Pattern was very easy to follow. I did a single crochet trim around all edges to prevent curling and make it look more finished.
