Simplicity meets sophistication in Haven with its simple two-piece construction and an easily memorized, off-center lace panel on both front and back. Gentle increasing and short-row shaping add a subtle slope to the shoulders, lending this project its own quiet drama.

The cotton and linen blend yarn provides both structure and drape, with softness from the cotton and crisp stitch definition from the linen. In fact, Haven’s versatility is one of its most attractive features; it’s a poncho, a beach cover-up, or a tunic – you decide.

It would be equally attractive and comfortable in 100% cotton, or in a cotton-bamboo or Tencel blend for softer drape.
