Beads sparkle like drops of dew on a tunic edged and collared in nostalgic ‘Old SHale“ lace. The yarn in this sweater is a blend of rayonand cotton in which the rayon takes center stage, creating a sleek appearance. A small amount os machine sewing is required to complete this sweater, but the elegant look is well worth the effort. A set of interchangeable circular needles can come in handy when knitting the lace collar, but aren’t required.
