Description

After the Glorious Nappe Shawl, we present another collaboration with lovely Justyna Lorkowska @letesknits using Aestiva .

We asked her if she could think about a garment for summer, maybe a tee or a lightweight pullover, and TANDIE took shape, as actually something in between!

A boxy shape, knitted from top down, with a lacy simple motif with a contrasting shade and truly charming shoulder and sleeves construction.

The original sample is knitted in Aestiva with TABACCO as main color and INCENSO as contrast, but we prepared some more combinations with kits in quite different colour ranges, for any taste... Of course you can build your own combo using the available shades in Aestiva page

 *** Please note that the Pattern is NOT included in the yarn kit but can be found HERE ***
