Fountaingrove

Perfect for warmer days, Fountaingrove is a simple linen tank with a stunning lace panel running down the front. The V-neckline nestles beautifully into the lace motif. Knit in Kestrel, a heavy worsted weight linen yarn, Fountaingrove is a quick and enjoyable knit. Fountaingrove is knit in the round from the bottom up. The front and back are split at the underarm and then worked flat. The shoulders are joined with the three-needle bind off. Neckline and armholes are given a simple and neat finish. The instructions for the lace panel and neck decreases are both written and charted.
