Bella Donna
This beautiful garment has long raglan shaping for the sleeves almost dolman/batwing like. The delicate lace on the sleeves adds a visual punch to this sumptuous merino and silk yarn.
The pattern available through www.marlybird.com included two sets of instructions. Option 1: sleeve increases are worked in St st. Option 2: sleeve increases are worked in Lace st patt.
Take a look at both schematics in the pattern to decide which one is best for you to make for you.
