Totally ready for Spring with this Sylven tee!
And a perfect fit, thanks to the ingenieus ‘build in’ bust darts… Natasja is a star in tailoring her knitting designs!

I choose a linen/viscose yarn together with a kidsilk mohair thread, knitted as one. To make it possible to wear this top as soon as the first rays of sunshine show.

Sylven is worked top down.
I made some little changes in the pattern: adjusted 5 cm of length before starting the lace pattern and duplicated row 5 18 22 and 36 of the lace pattern, because I didn’t want it to be too cropped for me.

I am so enthusiastic about Sylven being so wearable, that I knitted another one. In another color and with another yarncombo: laceweight cashmere and kidsilk mohair, held as one thread.
The cashmere is from Knitting for Olive.
I used 5 skeins and 4 of the thin mohair.

I lowered the front neckline with 2 cms and adjusted 7,5 cm to the length of the bodypart before working the lace part.
