TOLSTA TANK INFO
-Pattern releasing soon from ‪@the.creabea‬
-Yarn: Sandnes Garn Line "Dusty Green"
-Square Neck Style, with D Bust Adjustment
-Cast on called for stitches with main needle and knit 20 rows, folded over and attached.
-Body is knit to pattern until where top ribbing starts - Instead of rib knit 12 rows stockinette, folded over and attached. (Would recommend maybe dropping down one needle size when starting hem stockinette. I didn't but think it would help.)
-Picked up strap stitches as called for, knit 12 rows. Folded over and attached until I reached "strap" For that portion, i picked up stitches on the cast on edge, then kitchenered them together with the live stitches. Once those were done, I returned to attaching down as before for the rest of the arm hem.

I really enjoy seeing these kind of project-specific videos and watching other knitters as they problem solve and then still get to see a beautiful finished object at the end! Thank you!

I love this kind of videos! It's so nice to see the process of making a garment start to finish and it's especially useful and interesting when you're interested in making the same garments, I find. Cause you can see where others had difficilties or hiccups and how they dealt with them, which is so helpful and fun. So yeah definitely keep them coming🎉

The tank looks amazing on you - and I like that color, too! I usually hold my breath after blocking, LOL, but your tank looked incredible afterwards!!

I like these kind of project-making videos a lot, especially to follow the choices knitters are making along the way, and the endresults they get. So please, do this again!

Loved this project video. The tank looks so cute on you! I'm currently using Drops Belle for another project for the "little black tee" which is a similar yarn to Sandnes Garn Line. I plan to use the Drops Belle for a Tolsta Tee project later.

Awe thank you! Everyone keeps talking about drops Belle! Definitely need to get some to try!

Hi Amanda, I am looking forward for this pattern. I love your version. How much ease did you plan on when you pick the size to knit? Thanks for sharing.

@birchandlily 2 ай бұрын

I think I have approx 3 inches of positive ease. I chose based off of what the pattern recommended!

@aileenwhelan3511 2 ай бұрын

Beautiful tank - that drape!!! Were the bust darts part of the pattern or something you added to customise?

@birchandlily 2 ай бұрын

Part of the pattern! There's two different bust dart options included!

@aileenwhelan3511 2 ай бұрын

@@birchandlily amazing thank you I’m on the hunt for patterns with darts and bust adjustments! Will definitely check this one out!

@mlea79 2 ай бұрын

Really random question but what type of bowl do you use to block your items. It looks great with the 2 layers and drainage xx

@birchandlily 2 ай бұрын

Not random at all! It's called a "strucket" there's a link to it in rhe description!

I don't get it why double knitting esp with cotton linen yarn. FYI I did my own comparison between Line and Drops Bell Drops belle is far better softer and less splitty and half the price plus I realized if it does not feel right rip out and try something else.I now won't make something just to finish that I do not love and want to wear

@birchandlily 2 ай бұрын

Wanted to try the double knitting just as a finishing detail. Thought it might be easier than a folded over hem. But we see how that went 🤣
