Evie
Introducing the Evie, an adorable overtop that doubles as a chic cover-up for swimwear or a fashionable layering piece for winter styles. This delightful pattern is perfect for tweens and teens, and excitingly, a version for grown-up women is already in development!
The Evie is constructed in the round at first, then divided to work flat, creating the gorgeous wing effect for the sleeves that knitters will adore. This pattern is designed for intermediate knitters: if you're comfortable working in the round and can follow lace instructions from a chart or written guide, you’ll find knitting the Evie to be a delightful and straightforward experience!
For this project, we recommend using Forever Green Élan Organic Merino yarn, which is a sport weight but blooms beautifully upon washing, allowing it to be treated as a DK weight yarn. Experience the wonderful transformation of this yarn as you knit!
