Eligia Top

$10.53

Introducing the Eligia top and cowl, an elegant evening look infused with Gothic aspirations. This stunning fitted allover lace sweater features romantic puffed sleeves and a sophisticated straight boatneck design. Crafted from a luxurious yarn with a beautiful sheen, this deep purple design is perfect for those special occasions where you want to make an unforgettable impression. One of the standout features of this pattern is the use of Tencel, a fiber I truly love knitting with. Tencel not only drapes beautifully, resembling silk, but it also requires minimal shaping—simply stretch it into place for a flawless finish. The combination of texture and color makes the Eligia set a unique addition to your wardrobe. The name "Eligia," meaning "the chosen one," reflects the distinctive elegance of this piece, which first graced the pages of Clotheshorse in No. 3 Winter 2012-2013. For those keen to replicate this exquisite design at home, a thin 4-ply yarn is recommended, knitted with 1 strand to achieve a precise tension of 29 stitches and 36 rounds using size 3 mm needles in reverse stocking stitch. Whether you prefer to follow along in English or Norwegian—på norsk—the Eligia pattern is accessible to all. Dive into this captivating knitting project that marries gothic elegance with modern style, and elevate your evening attire with a touch of artistry.
