Staff Project: Rico Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton Knitted Top
Black Sheep Carmen is summer ready with her latest knit. A short sleeve knitted top in a cotton blend yarn. Easy to wear with a pair of jeans, shorts or skirt in the summer months. Perhaps even layered over a long sleeve tee to take her through to autumn. Let's see what Carmen has to say about finishing her latest knitting project.
Pattern name: 1268 Rico
Yarn: Rico Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton
Shade number / name: 31
What size did you make? 36"-38"
How did you find the pattern? Did you make any adjustments?
An easy to follow pattern. It's definitely a TV knit, I didn't keep needing to check back on the pattern. It grew really quickly!
Have you used this yarn before?
No, but I really enjoyed knitting with it. It feels nice to work with. It's a blend of 49% Cotton 46% Acrylic and 5% Polyester which is nice and soft.
Would you recommend the pattern to someone else? Would you make it again?
Yes, I would possibly want to lower the neckband. I'd prefer a little looser fit, especially for summer.
