I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience

SIZES
The pattern includes 6 children sizes (from 1-2 y.o. to 10-12 y.o.) and 14 adult sizes for own bust cricumference of 82-153 cm/32-60”. Details on sizes & yardages can be found in the chart and schematics included into pattern photos.

CONSTRUCTION
Niagara is a high-hip A-line tank top with 3-4cm/1-1.5” of positive ease in the bust. Pattern includes 3 flare ‘intensity’ options, pick what suits your shape & taste best:
• Narrow (bottom of the tank ~7-15 cm/3-6” wider than the bust)
• Medium (~15-25cm/6-10” wider)
• Wide – detailed instructions on how to calculate the desired flare yourself
The top has a vertical decorative panel on the front and smaller ones along the sideseams, worked sideways in garter stitch with German short-rows.
Main body is knit bottom-up flat in 3 pieces (Back + 2 Fronts), then seamed together at the shoulders. You then connect the pieces at sideseams: work decorative elements sideways in garter with German short- rows for shaping and to create the print, while at the same time doing armhole edging (with optional sleeve caps – see photo on the title page). After that work the front decorative panel similarly. Finish hem and neckline with either I-cord or garter edging

YARN: sport-weight linen (~300-320m/330-350 yds per 100g/3.5oz) in 2-6 colors: 1 main (MC) + 1-5 contrast colors (CC) depending on your preference (see yardages per size in pattern photos).
The sample was knit out of Linen Assorti ‘Linen 3-ply thread’
Suggested substitutes:
Quince & Co. Sparrow
Karen Oberg ‘Kalinka’
Katia ‘Lino 100%’
BC Garn ‘Lino’
• Some testers substituted for Lana Grossa ‘Linea Pura Solo Lino’ and various cotton yarns – creates a denser fabric with lower drape. Row gauge will be
tighter than linen, so you will have to add extra rows and adjust the decorative panel accordingly.

NEEDLES:
• Main: 3.5-4mm/US4-6 (or size to get gauge!) circulars on a 60-80cm/24-32” cable;
• Decorative elements: 3-3.5mm/US2.5-4 (or 1 size smaller than the main) circulars on a 60cm/24” cable.

GAUGE (PER 1010CM/ 44” AFTER WET-BLOCKING)
• Stockinette: 20 stitches by 24 rows - slightly stretch length-wise to dry (without pinning) – on main needles;
• Garter stitch: 20 stitches by 40 rows - slightly stretch width-wise to dry (without pinning) – smaller needles
