"Sylven strikes the perfect balance between effortless wear and timeless charm. The delicate lace border adds a graceful touch, while the short sleeves and well-shaped fit make it a versatile choice for any wardrobe.
Designed to flatter all sizes, Sylven is a go-to piece for warmer days—light, breathable, and endlessly wearable." cit. Natasja Hornby
Sylven is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth until the underarm while shaping the shoulders using short rows. Then, stitches are picked up to work the front shoulders. The shoulders are joined by casting on stitches for the front neck, and the front yoke is worked to the underarm, where the front and back are joined to work the body in the round.
For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armhole. The sleeve caps are shaped using German short rows. The sleeves are worked in the round. To finish the neckline, stitches are picked up, after which the ribbing is worked in the round.

WET-BLOCKING
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
- Soak work for 30 minutes or longer allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
- Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
