Havin (Summer/Summer nights) was originally designed without sleeves, as a slip over … just a great companion for those lovely “summer nights”
… while working on the second sample, I thought I would like to try out short sleeves … and yay! it worked well and I really liked the look
This little success was leading to my third sample … done with pure wool (not really a summer yarn ;) and LONG sleeves

all in one … Havin will make a beautiful summer top, a super cute tee or a cool pullover … a pattern to use all year round

… hope you enjoy!

Please find the questions thread for Havin here

Havin is worked seamlessly from the top down. Firstly, increases are worked on both RS and WS rows to the final shoulder width. Then both the front and the back are worked (separately) flat to underarm. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the tapered body top down in the round to the bottom. There are two finishing options (ribbing or I-Cord) for the body to choose from.
Optional short or long sleeves can be worked by picking up stitches around the arm opening and working them top down in rounds. Optional neck finishing is worked last.
