Leila Raven’s Bolan is a breezy summer tee with an inventive structure; it is knitted sideways in four pieces--two panels for the front, two for the back--and worked from the center out to the ends of the short sleeves. Embellished with textural lace and knit with plenty of ease in washable BC Garn Bio Balance (55% organic Shetland wool, 45% organic cotton), this summer top is both pretty and comfortable, even on the hottest days!

 

Laura adds, "I thoroughly enjoyed making the Bolan tee. Leila Raven crafted a masterful pattern that combines fun construction, a quick-to-learn lace panel, and easy customization. Using Bio Balance for Bolan was a match made in heaven; the drape! the wool/cotton blend softness! the alliteration! I would highly recommend this project for anyone looking for a fun summer knit to take along as you travel or hang out around town."

The kit is available in nine sizes, and the kits range in price from $39.50 to $116.50.
