Lacy Chemise

The Lacy Chemise is a soft and feminine overtop to wear with camisoles and light Tees. Inspired by the pretty “unmentionables” worn by ladies in times past, you’ll be worthy of mention when wearing this lovely garment!

The chemise is worked in the round from the bottom to the armholes, where it is divided and front and back worked separately. Sleeves are worked back and forth and then sewn into the armholes. A pretty lace edging finishes the neckline and an I-cord tie gives shape to the body. Sample is shown in Size 1 (32 inches) and Blueberry. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Intermediate lace knitters.
