Nighthawks
Inspired by Edward Hopper’s painting of the same name. The stony, night-time gray yarn is worked into the cozy comfort reminiscent of a crisp evening spent indoors, relishing bountiful diner fare, relishing an evening treat of coffee and dessert. Peace and relative solitude at midnight on a quiet street corner.
Knit in one piece, from the top down. Traditional raglan construction, featuring a decadent lacy panel down the front for a bit of pizazz. Fitted with waist shaping for an additional feminine touch. Reverse stockinettes offers the element of texture yet feels smooth against the body. Wears well with dress clothes for a professional look, or with jeans for stylish comfort.
Difficulty – Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

Highly recommend this yarn! It’s a dream with which to work, and feels so soft on the skin - great for wearing over a bold pop of color in a tank (as shown here).
