Linen Leaf top

The Linen Leaf top is a garment version of the Linen Leaf shawl design. It features the same stitch pattern, now shaped into a top, layering vest, or even a sweater if you choose to add sleeves. The top's construction allows you to adjust the size or make custom modifications easily as you go. The stitch pattern of these designs is based on the linen (moss) stitch. It is modified in an unusual way to create wonderfully textured and bold lines. If you are looking for a gentler, more delicate look, check the Mint Leaf Top, with its softly curved lines and airy eyelets. **MATERIALS** - Malabrigo Sock; light fingering / 3 ply; 440 yd (402 m) per 100 g skein; 100% Merino wool, SW346 Fiona colorway - Hook: U.S. E (3.5 mm) - Yarn needle to weave in ends - Stitch markers **YARDAGE** - 2 (3, 4), (5, 6, 7) skeins - 783 (1135, 1540), (1962, 2420, 2931) yds - 715 (1038, 1407), (1793, 2211, 2678) m **GAUGE FOR SWATCH** - 24 sts (sc and chs) and 24 rows = 4″ (10 cm) - worked in linen st patt only. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** The pattern is written for **six width options** and allows for the making of custom modifications, such as adding more ease to the body, making it longer, adjusting the sleeve length and width on your liking easily and as you go by working extra st- and row- PRs. **Sizes 1 (2, 3), (4, 5, 6):** - Width: 19 (21¼, 23⅝), (26, 28⅜, 30¾)'' / 48 (54, 60), (66, 72, 78) cm - Circumference: 38 (42½, 47¼), (52, 56¾, 61½)'' / 96 (108, 120), (132, 144, 156) cm - Length (adjustable): 18½ (19 ¾, 20⅞), (22, 23¼, 24⅜)'' / 47 (50, 53), (56, 59, 62) cm - Sleeve circumference: 13⅜ (13⅜, 15¾), (15¾, 15¾, 18⅛)'' / 34 (34, 40), (40, 40, 46) cm - Neckline back width: 7-8¼''/ 18-21 cm - Neckline depth: 6¼-7''/ 16-18 cm ★ The pattern has been professionally tech edited. ★ Language: English (US crochet terms) >Subscribe to [my mailing list][1] for the latest pattern releases, sales, inspiring crochet tips, and a peek into my design process. > >You can also join me on: >[Instagram][2] ~ [TikTok][3] ~ [Facebook][4] [1]: https://www.cupofstitches.com/newsletter [2]: https://www.instagram.com/ravliki/ [3]: https://www.tiktok.com/@ravliki [4]: https://www.facebook.com/crochetravliki/
