{"product_id":"block-theory-by-jennifer-dassau","title":"Block Theory by Jennifer Dassau","description":"\u003cp\u003eBold blocks of intarsia decorate the front and back of this long and lean tank. Worked flat from the bottom up with a slightly longer back, the built-in rib edging is seamed at the sides, leaving slits at the hem. Waist shaping and an a-line flare at the hip emphasize the casual breeziness, and deep v-shaped armholes add to the linear styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlock Theory is worked separately for front \u0026amp; back from the bottom up, beginning with an Italian tubular CO that flows beautifully into narrow ribbing, and then transitions to stockinette stitch with intarsia color blocking. The narrow rib continues up the sideseam and armhole edge, with shaping worked within the body for hip, waist and bust, making it simple to seam the front and back together beautifully, and eliminating the need for armhole finishing. A shallow scoop neck worked with a few short rows balances the cut-out armholes, the shoulders are seamed with a 3-needle bind off, and then tidy minimalist applied I-cord finishes the neckline.\u003cbr\u003eThe width and spacing of the intarsia color blocks grows through the size range, to create a similar visual result for all sizes.  Pattern includes 9 sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo see more patterns, please visit jenniferdassau.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnitting Kit includes pattern (pdf \u0026amp; printed pattern) and yarn.  \u003c\/strong\u003eSizes with similar skein counts are grouped for kit purposes only.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn2.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1371\/5319\/files\/3_Light_symbol_thumb.jpg?v=1491865141\"\u003e  DK Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESIGNER RECOMMENDED YARN: \u003cstrong\u003eUltra Pima by Cascade Yarns \u003c\/strong\u003e(100% pima cotton; 100g\/220yds): \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 (3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) skeins MC and 1 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins CC.
