Hi there!
I am a new knitter who wants to make a slipover for my grandma.
I want to use the pattern of Purlsoho’s Summer Breeze Tank Top, but perhaps changing the stitches to stockinette.
For yarn I am thinking using Knitting for Olive Pure Silk, but holding 2 or 3 strands together so that I can use size 4 or 5 needles.
Here are my questions:
Would you think using stockinette stitches with pure silk yarn would be a good choice for this pattern? I just don’t think garter stitches would look that good for my grandma. Is there anything I should be looking out for when using stockinette for this pattern?
I don’t have enough experience with determining how much yarn I would need for this project, especially for the changes I am making. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all and happy holidays!
