LUASC

A basic v-neck T-shirt with dazzling possibilities, Luasc can be as minimalist 
or as exuberant as you like.

Options are provided for a variety of sleeve and 
bodice styles, offering several looks in one pattern. The gentle curvature 
of the v-neck creates a flattering neckline, while the hem and cuff treatments 
result in a clean finish - giving Luasc the look and feel of a true T-shirt, rather 
than a short-sleeve sweater. 


Quick and uncomplicated, this is an ideal pattern for summer, to pair with cotton, linen, nettle, hemp, or silk-blend yarns. 



Luasc means ‘flutter’ in Irish, referring to the (optional) style of the sleeves.
