Tykk Line + New Colors + Augusta + Deschain

We love Tykk Line for the same reasons we love the original worsted version...and with the added benefit of a chunky weight, your projects will fly off your needles! Wondering why we love it so much? Because the entire Line line is made with a cotton/viscose/linen blend (meaning no wool, which is good news for those of you with wool allergies!), it's machine washable and it's a blend that offers the soft, absorbent properties of cotton and viscose, combined with the cool feeling of linen. 

The Augusta Singlet (top) is a beginner-friendly pattern. It's worked bottom-up to the underarms, then the front and back are finished separately. 

Sizing/Yarn Quantities for the Augusta Singlet:
Note: all measurements are for the finished garment; that is, your combined personal body measurements plus movement allowance. Choose a size that suits your preference.
32.5" (33.5, 36.5, 39.75, 43, 47, 49) bust circumference = 5(6,6,7,8,8,9) skeins of Tykk Line
 
Our Deschain sweater obsession continues! Designed with plenty of ease for a relaxed fit, this cropped boxy pullover is worked flat and then seamed.  Just as the previous samples we made...we omitted knitting the sleeves. It's already ninety-nine gazillion degrees outside and Meg doesn't want any unnecessary fabric touching her! 

Sizing/Yarn Quantities for the Deschain:
Note: all measurements are for the finished garment; that is, your combined personal body measurements plus movement allowance. Choose a size that suits your preference.
54¼" (60, 65¾, 71½, 77¼, 82¾, 88½)" bust circumference = 8(11,13,15,16,18,20) skeins of Tykk Line
