Capri Using Erika Knight Studio Linen
The Design
Erika Knight designed this slip-over top in broad, beachy stripes using her newest fiber, Studio Linen. With a wider fit and modern boxy shape, Capri is simply designed, simply written, and simple to wear! Now let's talk fabric―next-to-the-skin softness, a smooth finish that's not sheer, and a cool comfy drape that has us all saying "Ahhhhh!". Choose closer tonal stripes, or go for a bigger contrast with nautical navy and white!
Pattern includes a schematic and is written for five sizes.

KNITTER'S NOTES
We recommend washing and blocking your pieces before seaming; it makes putting everything together so much easier - take the time to do this! You'll also get the added benefit of a softer fabric to work with - linen gets softer with every wash.
