Lina
In addition to being the perfect, simple, warm-weather tank, Lina is designed to be an introduction to knitting with linen yarn.
Worked from the top, entirely with knit stitches—it uses garter stitch for the bodice and stockinette in the round for the skirt. Garter stitch helps to overcome any unevenness of tension when working flat, and makes for a more opaque fabric that can be worn without another garment underneath, preserving Lina's airiness.
