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.
