I love a great espresso or latte! Crema is the smooth light brown foam that tops a freshly made shot of espresso. Mint Crema was inspired by my love of coffee and a local coffee shop / French bakery. The shop is painted in a beautiful mint tone and has a fun patterned black and white floor. I designed the yoke to include little mint coffee cups and black and white color work motifs. Knit up in Rowan Baby Cashsoft Merino in the most perfect colors, Mint Crema is so soft and cozy to wear and fun to knit!
