This relaxed fit top features dolman sleeves, uninterrupted stockinette on the front and back panels, and decorative 3-needle bind offs, making for a simple, seamless knit with a clean, modern look. The pattern includes 9 sizes, 6 original video tutorials, technical illustrations for understanding the unique construction, and detailed guidance for choosing your size and adjusting the sleeves.

YARN SPOTLIGHT: Magpie Fibers Equinox
BAY was designed in Magpie Fibers Equinox Worsted (184 yards/168 meters/115g), a 65% silk/35% linen blend. This yarn makes for a luxurious, super soft, all-weather sweater with a lovely sheen and drape.
