Linen Leaf top

€8.00 €10.00

The Linen Leaf top is a garment version of the Linen Leaf shawl design. It features the same stitch pattern, now shaped into a top, layering vest, or even a sweater if you choose to add sleeves. The top’s construction allows you to adjust the size or make custom modifications easily as you go.

The stitch pattern of these designs is based on the linen (moss) stitch. It is modified in an unusual way to create wonderfully textured and bold lines. If you are looking for a gentler, more delicate look, check the Mint Leaf top, with its softly curved lines and airy eyelets.
