New Color
Like a new leaf unfurling, Julie Hoover’s Arie takes a cue from spring with a simple pleat at the neckline that unfolds and billows, transforming this comfortable top into a work of natural beauty. You make the Arie in two pieces from the bottom up, working the fold into the bottom of the V before shaping the neckline and armholes. Once seamed and finished, the shape of the sleeves, a split hem that dips a bit lower in the back, and a graceful, seed stitch V-neck complete the thoughtful details. For this pattern you can choose either Cattail Silk or Linen Quill, two of our favorite yarns for natural charm. Cattail Silk is a 100% silk yarn that has an earthy texture and soft shine, lending it a casual elegance that’s perfect for any occasion. Linen Quill combines fine wool, alpaca, and linen into a yarn that is wonderfully rustic, but still soft, and is available in an astounding range of colors. Whichever you choose, you’ll love knitting and wearing this down-to-earth beauty!
