Coiled: A Linen Top
This terrific cover up is available on designer Kat Coyle's blog. It uses just 2 skeins of Louet Euroflax or punch up the color with Claudia's Handpainted Linen. As relaxing as it is to knit, the fabric is even softer after washing and will become your favorite cover up this summer. Easy to adjust: if you need to size up come in and ask us, and we'll help you.

This top is enhanced with sewn bind off. Come in for our Friday Finishing clinic and learn how to do a sewn bind off. (Finishing Fridays: June/Sewn Bind Off every Friday 12-1, 2-3 $15)
