Description

This is the design on the back cover!

Ballet-neck a-line light tunic with full-length set-in bell sleeves. Upper chest, upper back, and upper sleeves have an 18-stitch, 36-row repeat eyelet lace design (see chart B on p.51). Simple lace hems have an easily memorized 10-stitch repeat (chart A). All edges are 4 rows of garter stitch.

This pattern is entirely in Japanese; however, a full schematic and clear graphed charts for the lace patterns are provided.
