This lovely and “Angelic” vest is a wonderful piece to make and a delight to wear. The open branched lace and shawl collar design is a flattering and fashionable look for everyone. Enjoy and show off the delightful softness of the Bijou Spun “Seraphim” angora blend yarn. The addition of viscose to the yarn keeps the angora loft in check and allows the stitch pattern to remain open. This is a must have piece for all wardrobes!
