The vertical braid patterning, as well as the slopping lacy panels, produce an exciting effect that’s very flattering.
The braid patterning is made up of twisted stitches (no cabling!). The lacy panels remain constant throughout as the shaped “V” effect is achieved by increasing and decreasing at each side of the panels.
The back is simple with just those lovely braid stitch lines and a single knit stitch, all running through to the shoulders.
The sleeves are 3/4 length and worked in stocking stitch.
The neckline is edged with a neat little rouleau effect border.
