Etéreo is a simple shift. Do with it what you will! As designed, it’s a midi-length, six-color striped whisper of a garment, form fitting and slightly revealing. I wear it as a nightgown but it could also be worn as a dress. I sized up to make a looser, less sheer version in a nubby cotton yarn from Knit One, Crochet too. Fabulous! Etéreo would work well made from any plant fiber yarn. Knit it up in two colors or twelve. Add or subtract color bands to make it into a mini, knee-length or maxi dress. I’ve included an after-the-fact option for wider straps. (Some of us need to wear a bra under this thing…) Enjoy creating a bespoke Etéreo for yourself and an entirely different version for a friend. Then get out there and enjoy summer. Stay cool, my friends.

An important note: This garment was originally designed for bamboo yarn, which tends to stretch a great deal (thus the large amount of negative ease in the sizing). If you are knitting in linen, cotton or hemp (much less stretchy), size up or use a bit larger needle than the ones with which you got gauge.
