I have a thing about linen, especially aprons, and when I found this beautiful fine 3ply Lithuanian linen, I couldn’t resist knitting a little one to add to my collection. :)

It is very loosely based on a Victorian apron I saw years ago, with tiny pockets and some scalloped lace around the bottom. I wear this layered over singlets and dresses. It has a slightly gothic, almost steampunk aesthetic.

Available in the one size only, to fit 32-34” bust. Shown on 33” bust in photos. It is easy to make the bib section narrower or wider as desired. The lace pattern is written only.
