Simple Shell and Cardigan Set
Angelia Robinson
Unique short row blocks along the necklines of
these two pieces are the perfect introduction
to this versatile technique. The short row
sections are knit in a lace weight yarn, which
complements the main fabric beautifully.
Modern and stylish, the square neckline
accentuates the blocks, while the shaping at
the waist and bust creates a flattering fit.
