Pattern
It was the bamboo in Sueño yarn and an antique kimono that inspired this open coatigan. To showcase the simple construction of kimonos this piece is designed to be worked sideways. An openwork stitch pattern is combined with subtle, visible floats to add decorative detail and knitting interest. Two pieces are worked from the cuffs to the center of the back, then joined with a 3-needle bind off and finished with a band that caresses the neck.

Pattern
This cheerful cover-up top is perhaps the simplest pattern possible. A pair of stitches that you repeat to the end of the row, every row. After working front and back the same, seaming them together and finishing with a little crochet trim, you'll have a reversible top with unique color variegation on each side. How's that for fun?

Yarn

Pattern
When it comes to a light and airy tunic or summer dress with just a touch of sexy, Michelle could become your favorite. It was designed for Solo Lino, the recycled linen eco-yarn. The pleasantly simple pattern is worked from the top down in one piece with no seams to be sewn. And as you progress the needle size increases 3 times to create the A-line profile and a skirt that has a little swish when you walk. The design is simple, knitting it is simple and the result is simply charming.

Yarn
Lana Grossa’s Solo Lino, Sport, 80% recycled linen, 20% linen, Eco-yarn

This yarn is almost unbelievable. There is none of the stiffness that can be experienced when knitting with virgin linen yarn. Instead, the recycled process results in a beautiful drape that feels soft in your hands. Yet it retains all the qualities that make linen so desirable.

Pattern
After finishing my Marcella Kimono Cardigan, I decide it would be fun to translate the design into a wrap. An openwork stitch pattern combined with subtle, visible floats creates a mirrored design. It is started in the center with provisional cast on stitches and worked to the edge. Then the provisional stitches are picked up and the second half is worked in the opposite direction, finishing with I-cord edging. Enjoy the beautiful hand of Sueño as you knit, then slip into your cozy wrap and relax with a cup of tea.

Pattern
A poncho that slips over your head and drapes over your arms is a carefree idea for a spring and summer cover-up top. So, here’s a lady’s top that has the option to be worn open poncho-style or closed with laces up the sides. The pattern is worked from the bottom front up to the boatneck-style opening and down to the back hem. There is no shaping, so it is easy and relaxing to knit. And simple openwork adds detail to provide a little fun. Enjoy.

Pattern
It was René Lacoste, the legendary French tennis player, who first conceived what we know today as the polo shirt. This pattern is inspired by René and designed so every knitter can enjoy the pleasure of hand-crafting a shirt that is as comfortable as the original design from 1929. The pattern is worked from the top down in one piece, so the only seam is the body hem. The shoulders and neck are shaped using German short rows, stitches are picked up around the arm hole, the body and arms are worked in the round. Alternating stockinette and twisted stockinette create a subtle sophisticated vertical stripe pattern.
