Inspired by classic shell patterns, this piece will go from summer adventures to the perfect layering piece the rest of the year.
This is a standard fitting sleeveless shell worked in overall pattern, beginning with separate front and back tails. Work is joined to continue the body in the round to the armholes. After dividing the front and back to shape the armholes, each half is worked separately to the shoulders. Shoulder and neck shaping on front and back create a flattering fit.
Shoulders are joined using Three-Needle BO, and a few rounds of garter edge both armholes and neck.
