The Mooncrush tank features wide shoulders and deep armholes, with a boxy shape that works as a standalone top or as a layering piece. In class we’ll cover choosing size, reading charts, intarsia colorwork, working a folded hem and collar, short row shaping, mattress seaming, and applied I-cord edgings. The intarsia will have you saying “just one more row!” Students should be comfortable knitting, purling, and following a pattern.

Instructor: Rachel Offerdahl

Required Materials:

Pattern for the Mooncrush Tank by Jacqueline Cieslak (paper copy or pdf from the designer)

Fingering or light sport weight yarn in your size - yarns containing plant fibers are recommended for this pattern. Students can knit the two- or three-color version and the cropped or full length in class.

Two sets of US size 4 needles, or size to make gauge. Two sets of needles are recommended so students can knit both the front and back panels in tandem.
