Blush
The next pattern in the Linen Collection is now available: Blush.
Like the blush on a rose or a lilac, this delicate shell has a gossamer, graceful quality. The decorative openwork stitch pattern, made even more transparent with wrapped and dropped stitches, plays on the floral theme.
Now that we are in mid-summer and working with a heavy wool yarn holds no appeal, Blush presents an alternative. This light-weight, breezy shell, worked in cool linen (Louet's Euroflax , 100% linen) is just right for summertime knitting.
And with all that openess, it works up quickly, too. Sized from Extra Small to 3X, it is suitable for many different body types. Pattern instructions include optional short row shaping for the bust. And you can vary the length and arrangement of stitch pattern to your own delight. Crop it. Lengthen it. Wear it with a slit or without.
Blush is perfect for layering over a tank top or a swim suit. Or pair it with a camisole and a luxurious skirt and you are ready for an evening out.
