Levantine by Alison Green
Cables and dropped stitches bring style to the summery Levantine top. Soft Seaspun yarn ensures that you’ll have a feel-good finished garment that will be cool and comfortable to wear all summer long.Front and back center lace panels are worked separately featuring a cable pattern framed by dropped stitches. Stitches are picked up and knit along the sides of the panels and worked outward to form the sides of the body and sleeves.FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
