Lily of the Valley Blouse

This graceful top features the pretty Lily of the Valley lace motif, used to create extra interest at the waist and sleeve edges. The gently curving neckline is reflected in the shape of the lace motif at the waist. I-cord finishes all the edges with understated elegance.

Front, back and sleeves are knit separately from bottom to top, then sewn together. I-cord is worked on all edges to finish the garment. Sample shown in Size 1 (33 inches) and Robin's Egg. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
