With its short sleeves and cool linen blend material Immortelle is the perfect top for warmer weather or for anyone who tends to feel warm. It is knitted from the top down with a textured stitch pattern on the yoke, which includes crossed stitches and the making of nupps. Optional waist shaping for a more fitted or relaxed waist allows you to adjust the fit. Named after the plant Helichrysum arenarium, also known as Immortelle, it’s a perfect addition to your knitted wardrobe.
