Gentle movement and intriguing lace edging are the hallmarks of this whimsical swing top. Palouse is trim and fitted at the top, then flares to a wonderful trapeze shape at the hem. Airiness is achieved with easy butterfly lace at the edges. Fun to knit and flattering to wear, Palouse is worked from the bottom up and features a modified drop shoulder. The neckline is wide and rounded and is finished with picot edging.
