Sizzle, not quite a tank and not quite a cap sleeve, is a hot little summer top that will help you stay cool! Knit from two colorways of luscious linen lace, with very simple shaping, the bias stretch of the yarn and custom finishing enable you to achieve a perfect fit. The ribbed front and back are begun separately from the shoulders down to the side seams, then joined together and the body is worked in the round. Patterning is built from mitered angles, and is easy to adjust to any size or length you desire.

The crisp, yet drapey qualities of lace weight linen are perfect for this little topper, which can be worn over any number of different sleeve-length T’s, or made longer to be worn as a tunic or bathing suit cover up. Bands of hand painted yarn in stockinette stitch are defined by a rib of a second color, to accent the angles of the miters. The angled lines are so slenderizing, as is the A-line shape!

Sizzle is shown in the photo with Frou Frou, a summery touch of adornment. The Frou Frou pattern and kit are coming soon!
