SAILOR SWIFT TOP KNIT TUTORIAL WITH I-CORD EDGES
Hello and welcome to this tutorial!
In this video I'll show all the steps and techniques you need to know to knit yourself this striped Summer top. Pattern here: www.ravelry.co...
The Sailor Swift Top is a simple tank top with a slight racerback shape that gives it a contemporary look and a slight cool-girl vibe. The classic striped pattern together with the delicate i-cord edges around the neckline and armholes makes this a true wardrobe favorite that you’re going to want to wear (and knit) again and again.
The top is worked top down in Stockinette stitch, so you can adjust the length to suit your body. First the back is worked back and forth, then stitches are picked up for both fronts and then all stitches are joined in the round to work the body. Lastly stitches are picked up around the neckline and armholes for an i-cord bind off edge.

I like to use double pointed needles when I do an I-Cord bind off! Then instead of slipping the stitches back after I have worked them, I can just slide the stitches to the other side of the dpn and start again. Just a tip for anyone who gets frustrated by all of the slipping! This is such a wonderful pattern, and will be such a great way to use some of the yarn I have laying around in my stash! Forever thankful!

Hello! I've been very looking forward to this pattern and love that you take the time to do these tutorials. I have a question - does this tank have any sort of waist shaping? I slope quite dramatically from my waist to my (much wider) hips and find that just knitting longer for full length is problematic for me for many non positive ease patterns. If you have any recommendations for how to handle this for someone who is adv beginner-intermediate that would be amazing!

I hate the line where it joins so I move the BOR to the side of the garment or better still I work.flat for stripes, its a lot less hassle and looks better . Nice top!

I knitted the top following your instructions and it worked perfectly until I reached the italian bind-off. Suddenly the hem started to get wavy and rolled outwards instead of being snug and fitted to the body. Do you have any tips what to do now and how to avoid that?

@sarahhopkins1579 9 ай бұрын

Hi Kika! I just started knitting this top and have a question: as a left-handed knitter, do I need to switch when I M1L and M1R? Stated differently, for row 1 of step 2(upper back) do I keep the original (first do M1L at beginning of row and the M1R at end) OR do the following: K2, M1R, k to last 2x M1L, k2? Thanks Kika and anyone else who knows the answer!
