Top Espoir is a classic linen tee, with a little twist. It combines interesting details like ribbing on the shoulders and a split at the front neck, with a loose casual fitting, making it a perfect summer wardrobe staple.
This top is worked in 2 parts. First, the T is worked sideways from one sleeve to the other. Then, stitches are picked up along the T edge to work the body top down in the round. Short rows are worked on the Front to give more ease.
Offered in sizes that runs from 2XS to 4XL, this pattern contains schematics and measurements charts and is fully written to give you the best possible knitting experience.
