L'Ace Shell, Dress, and Shawl
Cute summer dress, shell, and matching triangular shawl, all using the same trefoil lace as an all-over pattern, set off by a pretty wave border on the shell and dress. A simple lace border is also used for the edges, to separate the skirt from the bodice of the dress. All pieces are fairly easy to knit, with little shaping. The lace pattern is not very demanding either, so it’s at the easy end of the intermediate skill level.
