Xochitl

Xochitl is a loose Summer/Spring garment with a lace yoke and details around the bottom and sleeves meant to emulate the flower embroidery designs typically made by Mexican artisans. It’s worked top-bottom, making it seamless. Length is adjustable to taste, making it a beautiful, yet versatile item. Xochitl takes its name from the Nahutl word ‘Xochitl’ (so-chil), which means flower. Nahuatl was spoken by the Aztecs who populated Mexico centuries ago. To this day, many words in Spanish, and even English, come from Nahuatl, including “chocolate”. This listing is for the PDF crochet pattern in English only.
