Beatrice from the Valley Yarns Designer Series is a gorgeous lace cardigan that will instantly add color and a graceful style to any outfit. Southwick blends Pima cotton with bamboo to create a silky soft yarn with excellent drape and beautiful sheen that’s perfect for warm-weather wear. The body of Beatrice is knit flat in a ribbon lace pattern from the back hem up and over the shoulders and down to the front hem, with seams joining the sides. Sleeves are knit flat separately and seamed to the body during finishing and a reverse stockinette stitch neckband provides a polished finishing touch. Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
