I’d like to offer 20% discount for my new pattern now through midnight on Feb 29, (EST time zone) Coupon Code Chantilly

“Chantilly” sweater - is worked top-down in the round, so you can easily try it on and decide on the length in the process. You start with a circular yoke with a combination of lace and garter stitch.
I recommend positive ease (8-10cm/3-4”) at the bust.
