Part of the Quince & Co. Linen I: Sparrow 2021 Collection Lätta is a wonderfully versatile addition for your summer wardrobe. It can be worn with its signature twist in the front or the back, and it is constructed by knitting two long pieces that are then folded around each other to create an elegant, chignon-style knot. Beautiful 100% linen yarn gives this garment its graceful drape for a top that is both timeless and dramatic.
Construction: The pullover is constructed by knitting two long pieces which are then folded round each other and seamed to create two interconnected loops. The flat ends of each seamed piece create the sides of the back piece. The front piece is worked flat and front and back pieces are seamed at the shoulders and sides. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round. Pullover is reversible and can be worn with the twist in the front or the back.
