The perfect combination of a lace capelet and the shell you would wear under it - but attached!
One piece construction, NO sewing, unless you count sewing on the buttons.
This is done top down, starting with the capelet at the hem, worked back and forth in rows. Then you join in the round and work the neckline and shoulders, separate again at the armholes and work back and forth, then re-join for the torso. You can make the body as long as you want.
Worked in this luxury yarn, you will treasure this romantic and classic style forever!
