Interweave SKU: EP1017

The following description is from the magazine:
Shirley Paden started conceptualizing this feminine, feather-light pullover after seeing a similar cropped silhouette in a French fashion magazine. “I wanted to use that silhouette to create something airy and lacy for summer, something that would be versatile enough to go from day into evening,” she explains. To achieve that result and also to showcase the beauty of her yarn, a silk ribbon, she chose a simple lace pattern and worked it on size 11 needles. “It’s really easy to knit and goes quickly on such big needles,” she notes. “It’s a portable project. You could work on it at the beach.”
