Repartee

Repartee is one of 12 designs in the Jubilæum Collection, celebrating 10 years of Ziggurating and design.

Repartee along with the Mysteriosa shawl make up Chapter 3.

Yarn: Crave Yarn Caravan – available (in 50g & 100g skeins) from Yarn Culture.

Repartee is the perfect layering piece. Or for wear on its own. Hem and cuffs are split for extra roominess. A wide neckline works either for layering or can make this a breezy summer Tee, perhaps knitted with a linen or silk blend? My Repartee is knitted in Caravan, a soft and luxurious sportweight yarn from Yarn Culture.

The stripes on my Repartee shift stealthily from grey to dark purple – the Caravan mini skeins are a really good excuse to play around with colours and stripes to create your own palette. 
Or cook something up from stash. 
Colouring sheet included.

  • There is some waist and (optional) rear shaping but the general shape is …generous
  • Optional sneaky bust dart (one size to not upset the striping)
  • Everything, as per ziggurately usual, is knitted in one go, top to bottom with sleeve caps created along the way
  • No seaming
  • Set-in cap sleeves
  • A slight A-line shaping creates a nice, comfortable fit
  • Photo tutorial
  • Colouring sheet

And as usual there is a Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast on.
