Wild Flora delights in the ease & comfort of summertime with effortless styling and fun flower stitches. You can wear your top alone or as a layering piece over dresses and tanks. The pattern is knit from the top down with minimal finishing. The sleeves and hem length are easily adjustable (remember to account for yardage increases with alterations)
Wild Flora has circular yoke shaping and is accentuated with wildflower stitches that can be placed anywhere that your creative instincts guide you or knit as per the pattern. There is a video tutorial included with the pattern to guide you with knitting the flowers. The top can be knit in a variety of worsted weight yarns. You can get as creative as you wish with stripes, ombre, tonals or solids for example. Wild Flora is a joy to knit and wear, you may need to make two!
