Seaside Disco T
Put on your glitter eyeshadow and meet me by the pier. For tonight, we disco!
Indulging early 1980s nostalgia whilst sporting a contemporary silhouette, the Seaside Disco T is a simple and very adaptable pattern. A basic drop-shoulder top with optional button details, this design lends itself to a variety of sleeve and neckline options, and can easily be modified to suit any yarn weight and gauge.
As a summer wardrobe staple, the Seaside Disco T is ideal in cotton, linen, and
silk blend yarns. It can also work in woollen blends for the colder season, as a sleeveless vest
or as a pullover.
The Seaside Disco T pattern includes traditional instructions for knitting this garment at a sportweight-light DK gauge. In addition, an Appendix offers recipe-style instructions for knitting this garment in any yarn, at any gauge.
