Pattern Description:
Stolen Silver Spoons is a v-neck raglan crop top worked in overall stockinette stitch with accent lace. Compound raglan shaping and optional bust darts are included for a tailored fit.

This garment is inspired by the well-to-do hobbits who haven’t gone on adventures…yet. They stay in the Shire and enjoy their peace, until the mark appears on their door.

That’s what I hope this garment brings you - peace, rest, and calm, whether you’re a fan of The Hobbit or not.
