Description
Worked in a sport-weight linen yarn that softens with each succeeding wash, this easy care shell can be machine washed or dried. Light and cool, this summer knit features a pretty lace band just under the shoulders, a henley placket, a delicate mandarin collar, side vents, and easy waist shaping. A faint echo of the lace band is asymmetrically etched on the hem and all edges are trimmed in single crochet in a contrast color. For a more refined look, the edges can be worked in 2 rows of single crochet and in the same color as the rest of the shell. Your choice of buttons can add a touch of whimsy to the top.
