Ginkgophyte

Ginkgophyte by Emily Greene Knits. Featuring an abstracted ginkgo-leaf motif, rendered in crisp lace eyelets, Ginkgophyte is a breezy lace t-shirt with a loose, slightly cropped silhouette and round neckline trimmed with a folded band. This pattern includes two sleeve options, a short sleeve with a rolled cuff or a slim-fitting 3/4 sleeve with lace cuff. Worked up in a soft and breezy fingering-weight yarn with a touch of silk, Ginkgophyte is a perfectly unfussy spring layering piece.
