From November 22nd 2024 to the end of December 2nd 2024 Mountain Time, all 6 patterns from the Evening Elegance Collection are 20% off, no coupon required. Patterns included are: Art Nouveau Shawl, Brocade Shawl, Champagne and Silk Wrap, Pendant Top, Selini, and Tereza

This elegant top is the perfect dressy sleeveless sweater to party in, but is equally at home on a more casual outing! The front neckline is slightly rounded and accented with a beautiful textured lace motif, imitating a necklace, from which it draws its name. This top is worked in pieces from the bottom up in Stocking stitch, seamed at the shoulders, and a pretty trim is worked along the neckline and armholes. It’s knit in Nettle Soft DK for breathability and that little bit of extra cozy for a cool
evening out.
