StitchSaver™ Row Checker
"It is hard to make a mistake with our unique complimentary Row Checker. It helps you keep track of stitch count row-by-row for each section of the pattern, plus all increase and decrease shaping. With check off boxes for each row you can put this project aside for a week, a month or a year and return to the exact spot where you stopped."

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.
The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.
