Designer Knitting Pattern
Charlotte was created for Solo Lino, the amazing recycled linen yarn that is soft, silky and oh so drapey. This pattern was named after Charlotte Amalie on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, because when it is worn the pattern opens revealing waves, reminiscent of the island’s beaches. This beautiful tunic that can be dressed up or down over tights, shorts, a skirt, or maybe silk evening pants. The tunic pairs two matching squares, front and back with no neck shaping because the fabric drapes naturally. If you prefer a summery wrap just knit one long piece and voila, you have a dreamy new addition to your wardrobe.
