Chevron Tank Tunic
Lion Brand® LB Collection® Silk Mohair
GAUGE: 19 sts + 25 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Ripple Pattern with 2 strands of yarn held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.

NOTES: 1. Ripple Pattern is worked in Stripe Sequence with 2 strands of yarn held tog throughout.
2. When using 2 strands of the same color, use the strand from the center of the yarn ball + the strand from the outside of the same ball.
3. When only one color is listed in the Stripe Sequence, use 2 strands of that color.
4. The 172 rows of the Stripe Sequence will make the largest size without repeating; for smaller sizes, work until your piece measures the desired length, then bind off.
5. Wind about10-15 yds (9-14 m) of colors A, D and E into separate balls so that both shoulders of Back and Front can be worked at the same time.
6. Depending on how much yarn remains for colors B and C when you beg shaping the Front neck, you may want to wind about 5-10 yds (4.5-9 m) of these colors into separate balls too.
7. Make sure to leave long tails when changing colors for weaving in.
