NOTES
Meera is knit in one piece from the top down and features a raglan construction. You can either create short or long sleeves as well as a full or cropped version, as the pattern easily lends itself to modifications.

Please note that because of the lace stitch pattern and linen/cotton blend, your garment will stretch over time. Please be mindful of that when selecting your size.
