Not your garden-variety knit, the Magnetic polo crackles with raw texture and glinting attitude, knit with the cool grit of Flax and lit with Glamorous Glitter like sparks off pavement. The open-stitch detailing hits like chainmail for the modern rebel—structured, slouchy, and unapologetically bold.

PATTERN NOTES
This top is knit in the round, from the bottom up with yarns A and B held as one throughout. The front and back are separated at the armholes. Then the front is separated at the center to create a slit for the neck opening. The shoulders are shaped using the Sloped Bind-off method. The Sleeves are picked up after shoulder seaming and worked from the top-down, ending with a garter stitch edging.

The Diamond Lace Trellis pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

Please note that sizes 2X, 3X and 4X are written to make the most of 10, 11 or 12 hanks of Flax, respectively. You may wish to purchase an extra hank as insurance or unravel your gauge swatch to use in the final piece.
