When evening dress seems too formal, team this attractive jumper with a swirling skirt and you will be both smart and well-dressed for the occasion. The jumper looks best knitted in black.

It is quickly made in double rib, which moulds into the figure, and a simple lace pattern forms the scalloped edging of the neck and armholes. Knitted in black or a delicate pastel shade of wool, it will be smart as well as lovely and feminine.
