ABOUT THE PATTERN
Like Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, this top shines with simple elegance. It is a lightweight, boxy linen T-shirt that has a beautiful drape.
Knit in the round, with a bottom up construction, short rows create a scooped hem in the back. A simple, modern, traveling lace pattern repeated every other row creates airy, angular, flattering lines. Stitch markers set off the small lace sections so the body is “comfort knitting” with a bit of interest.
Pair your Elizabeth Bennet Tee with shorts and a tank for a spirited and airy day at the beach, or style your tee with a dressy skirt/trousers or over a simple-yet-elegant dress for a more refined look!

Pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
