A fashionable twist on the classic twinset, Rilke features an eyelet lace pattern as a panel on the tank and in stripes on the duster-length cardigan. Always have the right piece to grab—or pair them together—for an elegant look that will keep you cool and comfortable even as the weather heats up. Modern Linen lends its crisp stitch definition and impeccable drape to both pieces, making them instant wardrobe staples that get even better as they wear-in.

The Rilke tank and duster are worked in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and front are completed separately and joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind off. 

Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
