Inlet
Pullover
Inlet has a clean look and shows off the beauty of the yarn. This top only uses knit and purl stitches. To make an interesting texture without being complicated, some sections are worked with two strands of yarn held together, and some sections are worked with one strand of yarn.
This top is worked with two colors. The main color is used throughout the project, and the contrast color is used only in the sections where two strands of yarn are held together. The sample uses two low-contrast colors producing a subtle look. If you prefer to play with color, use two high-contrast colors.
The Front and Back are worked separately from the bottom up without shaping. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knit out from the body.
Note: The Inlet pattern has been updated for a new yarn, Cotton Air after Cotton Fine yarn is discontinued. This Cotton Air version has the same gauge and instructions as the Cotton Fine version, but with more chest size options. Both the Cotton Air and Cotton Fine versions are available to download on Ravelry.
