Description

Meet A l’ombre des pins: 

The «À l’ombre des pins» top is a very simple and quick-to-make pattern. It’s knit from the bottom up. The body is worked in 2/2 ribbing in the round. The bust is highlighted with increases, then the front and back are worked separately back and forth. The straps are knit in i-cord and tied on the shoulder. 

Intermediate level: It is a fairly easy top but we won’t recommend it for a first knitting project
