Black & White Surplice

Black & White Surplice

This knit top features the Surplice front with a hemline variation from Clever Crossing Variations for Tabula Rasa Knits.  Rae has combined two black and white print knits to great effect!  One print is featured on the right front and the other on the left front, with solid black trim and side panels.  Using different fabrics for left and right front really shows off the surplice style, which she has emphasized by adding extra tucks and raising the right front hem.  She carried both prints into the sleeves (one of each) and back, adding yet another crossing detail to the back.

Extra tucks and contrast binding raise the right front hem and emphasize the surplice effect.
