BAY is your dream all-weather knit, whether you’re getting cozy at home or being tousled by a crisp ocean breeze. This relaxed fit top features dolman sleeves, uninterrupted stockinette on the front and back panels, and decorative 3-needle bind offs, making for a simple, seamless knit with a clean, modern look. The pattern includes 9 sizes, 6 original video tutorials, technical illustrations for understanding the unique construction, and detailed guidance for choosing your size and adjusting the sleeves.

PATTERN DETAILS

Instead of posting all the details here, I have created a PDF with all the essential information that you can download here.

YARN SPOTLIGHT: Magpie Fibers Equinox

BAY was designed in Magpie Fibers Equinox Worsted (184 yards/168 meters/115g), a 65% silk/35% linen blend. This yarn makes for a luxurious, super soft, all-weather sweater with a lovely sheen and drape.

Please note, alternative yarn suggestions at a variety of price points are available on the Ravelry and Payhip listings.

VERSIONS: Pullover/Slipover

BAY is available in two separate patterns: a pullover with full length sleeves, and a slipover with extra-wide short sleeves. The testing round-up below includes both patterns.
