How about a pretty and light top made of Cheval Blanc AMBRE yarn for the hot days of summer? A design signed by Andrea Yetman for Biscotte Yarns offered as a free download. ♥
The Pretty in Pleats tank has been inspired by one of my favourite knit sweaters. It was a sweater that I knit a few years ago but kept reaching for and never wanted to put away for the warmer months. Knit with Cheval Blanc’s Ambre yarn gives this tank a beautiful drape! - Andrea
The Pretty in Pleats tank is knit bottom up in the round and then separates at the arm opening and knit back and forth. There are extra stitches for the front to accommodate decreasing for the pleats. The shoulder straps are binded off using the 3 needle bind off. Stitches are picked up for the neckline and the arm openings for a more polished look. The tank is more roomy around the mid section since there is no waist shaping. The sample is knit in size XS (32) and the mid section is still very flowy.

Cute cami, clear instructions
I knitted this project two months ago. The instructions were clear, but the pleat is a bit fiddly as written. I found it easier to NOT do the quasi-cable pleats as written (sorry). I dropped those stitches, lapped the pleats and sewed them in place using a tapestry needle and another piece of yarn. Then I picked up those stitches again and continued as written. The final result is very cute and cool to wear this summer.
