After designing the Adelia Shawl pattern, I knew I wanted to develop the idea into a garment! Like the shawl, the Adelia Tee uses three weights of Nature’s Luxury On Stage yarn base. Inspired by antique lace fabrics, Adelia combines open delicate stitches with dimensional bobbles and woven yarn inlay that emulates hand embroidery.
