Description

This is the cover design!

Twin set consisting of a sleeveless ballet-neck shell topped by a button-front single-breasted v-neck cardigan with 3/4-length set-in sleeves.

Cardigan has an overall pattern of undulating rows of “shell” lace, each row of “shells” separated by a garter stitch row of metallic novelty yarn.

Sleeveless shell with body in overall eyelet pattern and a bottom border of the cardigan’s “shell” lace pattern.

All edges are garter stitch.

This pattern is entirely in Japanese; however, a full schematic and clear graphed charts for the shell lace and eyelet patterns are provided.
