This was the Stylecraft recreat yarn I bought in April - The photo I shared previously, below, is a much better reprsentation of the colour
I've knittied the Salty Air Tee by Samantha Guerin before and I love wearing it. This one is a bit heavier but will be perfect for cooler Summer days.
The pattern looks complicated but is really simple to knit, and with the use of stitch markers to keep track of the repeats it's easy to spot if you've made a mistake.
I knitted the sleeves just a tad longer than my last one and picked up six extra stitches under the arms to eliminate those gaps you get when picking up stitches. I had a couple extra stitches in my sleeves to what the pattern says, just because I don't like clothes to fit too tight.
I'm really happy with the result and will probably knit it again in the future because It's such a nice top the wear.

Great sweater , I use to knit all the time .
But not so much now days.
My needle work takes over but I do miss it.
Have a great week hugs June.
I love the colour, is it in my size, such a pretty pattern as well. I'm not doing any knitting at the moment, it's more a cooler season hobby.
Looks good to me Maggie :)
All the best Jan
