Raven

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Melissa LaBarre’s Raven tunic is simple, flattering, and so perfect in linen. Worked in Sparrow from the bottom up in the round, the beauty of this piece lies in its understated details, with smooth stockinette stitches, a-line shaping, and subtle side slit pockets—all with a drape that is unparalleled in any other fiber.
