About this pattern
Elvi is the pattern to reach for when you want something finished by the weekend. Front and back are the same shape, worked flat in double moss stitch, and the light waist shaping comes from decreasing at the sides as you go. The side seams stop about 10 cm short of the hem so the singlet falls open over trousers or a skirt, and one round of single crochet around the neckline and armholes keeps those edges flat without any picked-up rib. It works just as well in stocking stitch or garter if you would rather keep it plain.
Good to know
- Construction – front and back are knitted flat and sewn at the shoulders and sides, with about 10 cm left open at each side hem for the vents. Double moss stitch throughout, two rows of garter stitch at the cast-on.
- You will also need – 6 mm needles and a 5 mm crochet hook for the edging. The pattern is written for Scandi Cotton (100 g): 2–4 balls depending on size. Using another yarn? Any 8 ply cotton that knits to 16 sts × 23 rows over 10 cm in double moss stitch.
- In the download – a 7-page PDF with the pattern in English and Swedish, a guide to double moss stitch and tension tips.
Happy Knitting!

Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
