Very on-trend, this ‘cool-shoulder’ throw over dress/tunic is a must have this season. Can be dressed up or down for daytime romps or night-time shenanigans! The zig zag sections are worked first from side-seam to side seam, then joined on the side and joined on the points of 4 triangles. Pick-up and work the lacy border; collar, sleeves and hem, to give a very feminine and delicate accent to the design.

Bestest of wishes
