Moonflower
€9.90
design : Jessica McDonald
Description
Elegant and uncomplicated, Moonflower is meant to be worn often and well-loved. The relaxed silhouette drapes effortlessly while short row shaping creates a refined fit across the shoulders.
The V-neckline strikes the perfect balance. Deep enough to showcase a favorite necklace, yet modest enough for everyday wear. Moonflower’s simplicity is the ideal canvas for a beautiful yarn and creating a garment you will wear again and again. Whether paired with jeans for a casual afternoon or tucked into a skirt, this versatile tee is sure to become a wardrobe favorite. It even looks good in the rain! You can see the last three photos for proof. Moonflower is worked seamlessly from the top down. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders, and increases are used to shape the neckline. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round.
