Trillium Lake
Trillium Lake
Trillium Lake is the perfect top to knit up fast for warmer weather or to layer under a sweater or jacket. It’s simple elegance with classic lines and a touch of lace. Picture it over a linen skirt, shorts, summer pants, or your favorite jeans.
Construction is top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner so that you can try it on and have no surprises at the end. Plus, there is no finishing to be done except for weaving in a few ends.
The angled hemline is flattering on many figure types and makes for comfortable wearing. Sleeves can easily be made longer.
This design will look great in any yarn that meets gauge and has good drape and decent stitch definition.
Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of at least 4 inches / 10 cm.
This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
Pattern will be available in Knit Companion.
