Letitia Street House by Lana Jois

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

A dots-and-stripes slip-stitch pattern and easy oversized shape make Letitia Street House a trans-seasonal piece! Knit in Milo, the linen-wool content of the yarn gives the garment both lightness and a hint of rustic texture.
