The pattern is written for six width options and allows for the making of custom modifications, such as adding more ease to the body, making it longer, adjusting the sleeve length and width on your liking easily and as you go by working extra st and row PRs.

The stitch pattern of my Leaf shawl and top designs is based on the linen (moss) stitch. It is modified in an unusual way to create wonderfully textured lines with a gentle curve, enhanced by eyelets for an airy effect. If you are looking for a more casual texture, check the Linen Leaf top, with its clean straight lines.
