Two-toned Linen Top
This boxy shape looks good on everyone, making this a perfect top to wear all summer long. Dress it up or dress it down, matches nicely with jeans, a skirt or flowy, linen pants.
Easy stockinette stitch is used to create a sheer fabric with lovely drape. This simple shell is made in 2 rectangular pieces. Front and back are knit side to side, using 2 different colors in an intarsia method. When switching yarns, drop your old color, pick up the new color from below, making sure to wrap it around the old color. Intimidated by this? You can easily make this using 1 color.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Small- 48” around, 18” long, (Medium- 50” around, 19” long, Large- 52” around, 20” long) This garment is sized with a lot of ease- Mannequin is a size 6 and wearing a small.
GAUGE: 3 stitches = 1 inch UNBLOCKED, 2.75 stitches = 1 inch BLOCKED-combining linen with oversized needles creates a very stretchy fabric that will grow considerably after blocking and wearing. This piece hangs to fit beautifully.
