Marin is the oblique onshore wind in southern France. The diagonal wind direction is not only good for kitesurfing, but also for a flattering shirt.

Marin is a summer shirt with a twist. It's asymmetric and has an A-line shape. The texture of Marin emphasises its bias knitting.

The sleeveless shirt is knitted bottom-up and is worked flat with some finishing in the round.

To best show the bias pattern, I recommend a solid colour. Please note that the finished garment will twist slightly due to the linen yarn, this is normal and part of the design.
