Comfortable and soft; made in our alpaca, silk and cashmere – just pure heaven to touch and to wear. CHANTILLY LACE can be dressed up for twilight; just a little something to throw over when the darkness descends and the air becomes chilly or to wear mooching about your home over your PJs.

Uncomplicated and effortless to make – worked in 1 PIECE (lace motif section and simple garter stitich section edged with another lace pattern repeat), and then you add the tassels. Throw over your shoulders; fling on and wear. Fasten with a shawl-pin from out collection.

Garments, we think, should have meanings and associations. We need the warmth and grace of lives lived before us, just our shoulders seek solace. This knitted delight will do both.

ENJOY!

ABBREVIATIONS
k: knit | p: purl | R: Row | st(s): stitch(es)
RS / WS: right-side / wrong-side
stocking st: k one row, p next row
yo: yarn over, starting at front of work pass yarn over needle to back. If st before the yo was a knit st, first bring yarn to front underneath needle. When you reach this yo on the next round k it as directed. This should create a hole.
yox2: as above but wrap yarn around needle twice to create 2 loops. On the next row work both the loops as individual sts. This should create a large hole.
kyo, pyo: k first yo/loop, p second yo/loop, make sure the second loop do not slip off needle when working second yo/loop. This should create two sts with a larger hole directly underneath.
k2tog/k3tog: k2/k3 sts together as one
