This is one of my favourite garments. It can be made in cotton or wool for any season. The version pictured here on my lovely friend, Colleen, is made with Koigu KPM merino, which makes a wonderful lightweight warm t-shirt for autumn, winter or spring.

I made mine a few years ago using Rowan Siena mercerized cotton and wear it every summer with a pair of comfy sandals and a skirt. It’s still looking good after much machine washing and drying. Siena comes in some gorgeous colours, like  “Pacific” which is calling my name….

There’s a little shaping at the sides and an optional drawstring at the hem, which we made extra long, with tassels. You could choose a size close to your own measurement and wear it fitting (it’s very flattering that way) or you could make a larger size and wear it as a loose blouse. It’s written for 6 sizes, 82cm(32″) to 132cm(52″) chest.

Town Girl Country Girl is available as a PDF here.

Happy knitting!
