Filigree Robe
The Filigree Robe is a graceful lace knitting garment to enjoy over light sweaters, T-shirts and camisoles. Its oversized shape is easy to wear and drapes softly around the body. Whether dressy or casual, the Filigree Robe adds a decorative touch to your ensemble!
The lace peplum is worked first, then stitches are picked up for the body, which is worked to the
armholes and then divided. Charts make neck shaping easy. Sleeves are worked in the round from the armholes to the cuffs, which are knit sideways to the sleeve.
