Say Oui to French Inspired Knits

Lili by Quail Studio
Rowan Summerlite DK, colors 470 Sailor Blue, 465 White

 

Bring a bit of French style to your summer wardrobe with these quintessential knits featuring Rowan Summerlite DK.

The Lili top by Quail Studio is a fabulous knit piece that may be worn alone or paired with a relaxed white or navy cardigan. Casual, yet sophisticated, the sleeveless top brings that effortless style we love.

The piece is quite straightforward & simple with the front & back being knit flat with a bit of seaming at the sides. Lili is knit in two colors of Rowan Summerlite DK, a favorite summer yarn spun with 100% cotton. Soft, with a beautiful matte finish, the yarn has lovely stitch definition & drape.

Knit the Lili top:

Finished bust circumference: 33.75 (38.25, 41.25, 45.75, 49.5, 54, 57, 61.5, 66.25)“

  • Color A: 8 (8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11) balls Rowan Summerlite DK, photo in 470 Sailor Blue

  • Size US 5, 24” circular needles (knit flat, seamed)

 

Elyna by Quail Studio

The second knit we are loving is the Elyna by Quail Studio. These are the pieces we wear again & again because they are a wonderful basic with extra special details. Flattering features include elbow length sleeves & a modern puff shoulder that give Elyna some serious style.

The unique yarn pairing of Rowan Summerlite DK held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze (silk/mohair) gives the top year round appeal. For a great fit, the piece is knit flat in stockinette, then seamed.
