Key West

"Tropical sunsets, soft breezes and louvred wooden shutters inspired this classic ensemble," says Bylsma. "Knit the pieces in your own combination of yarns for a designer look." This is a twinset with couture detailing that remains somehow undemanding: Bylsma explains her facings and mitreings easily, and the 'plaid' lines are simply crocheted on after the fact. We can't crochet at all well, but we can do this easily. Armholes have a nice curve and sleeves a good cap; the tank is really only ribbed, with back and front the same.
