An elegant, substantial lace jacket is the perfect accessory
for every season. Rotasu (Japanese for “lotus”) features
allover Japanese stitch pattern Lotus Blossom Lace with
a Garter Stitch edging and a scalloped hem. The front can
be worn open or fastened with a pretty pin.

All pieces are rectangular, worked flat and seamed. The
neckband is picked up and worked sideways. No shaping
means all attention can be focused on the true knitted lace,
which is patterned on both sides.

Sample is 38”; model is 32”
