Snowdrops are a welcome first sign of spring. When they appear, you will want to have this lacy vest ready to begin layering and transition to your spring wardrobe.

Over the years we’ve received many requests for a timeless layering piece that would be light enough to skim along the body and long enough to flatter every figure. We think that our new Snowdrop Vest perfectly fits that bill.

It is worked up in our lofty Lana for a light and breezy fabric. The generous tunic length is left open for A-line shaping. It is also cleverly divided at the bust with the use of two delicate lace patterns for visual interest that lengthens and creates the impression of a high empire waist.

The Snowdrop Vest is worked flat from the bottom up. Both lace repeats are 8 rows, making it easy to transition between. The pattern includes charts and written instructions for the lace as we know that you may have a preference for one or the other.
