Knitting Pattern: Lastu Top (by Heli Hottinen-Puukko)
The playful Lastu delights with its colors. The top is worked flat using the intarsia technique. To finish the body, the front and back are sewn together.
The pattern for the Lastu top was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pentik knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pentik's decorative textiles and ceramics.
