Knitting Kit - Boat by Tricot Design MCL

Knitting kit - Bateau by Tricot Design MCL (Marie-Christine Lévesque)

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry, see here.

Pattern available in French and English.

Bateau is aptly named; it's a small, sleeveless summer top with an elegant boat neck. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down with a fun play of stripes that punctuate the knitting. The finishes are delicate and minimalist to maintain the lightness of this piece.
Bateau is knitted with 4 different colors of fingering weight yarn. This pattern can be made with wool or with a summer yarn.
