Either way, I wish you happy knitting!

Tula is a fresh looking/feeling top. Knitted with the super soft Bamboo+ skeins, you will soon find that you want to knit more with it. The yarn feels wonderfully comfortable and soft.

Easy to knit for sizes ranging for 34” to 58” with an automatic 10” positive ease worked into each size.
The top is knitted flat, from the bottom up in simple stockinette and garter stitches (used decoratively). Larger sizes are using short rows to create the sleeves.

Two colors are used and mixed up, basically the colors are side reversed throughout the knit, which gives it a really pleasant appeal.

Yarn used
Bamboo+ skeins in a blend of 60% bamboo and 40% cotton, 272 yards/100 grams each. Two colors, 2/3 skeins each. Shown in the sample is the Creme and Sage combo.
