This pattern was designed to be accessible to all knitters, including beginners who are comfortable with the basics (knit and purl stitches, simple decreases, and basic seaming). Its straight, uncomplicated construction allows you to focus on even stitching and the joy of working with a beautiful yarn.
It is worked flat in two pieces (front and back).
The deliberately loose fit provides generous ease for a soft, elegant drape. It can be worn next to the skin or layered over a tank top or lightweight tee.
Knit in 100% silk, the fabric highlights the yarn’s natural beauty with a fluid, delicate drape — a real pleasure to knit and to wear.
A light and enjoyable project, perfect for summer evenings and the early days of fall.
You’ll find the yarn used in this design under the Yarns section, ITO brand, KINU quality, available in a wide range of beautiful colors.
