Magna Flora is a circular yoke, flower inspired sweater. It has
a simple but striking lace yoke that is a pleasure to have on the knitting needles. It is knit seamlessly from the top down. The sleeves have minimal finishing, are separated at the underarm and are knit separately. A simple touch of lace adorns the flattering hem.

There are many options with knitting a Magna Flora top. The length is easily adjustable accounting for any extra yardage with your project plans. The sleeves may also be lengthened to taste, both short and 3/4 length sleeve options are provided. the hem length can be lengthened with an easily repeatable pattern. The lavender colored sample is knit with a linen blend, this pattern would also look beautiful in other linen and merino blends.
