Windfall
Windfall – lighter than air – is a perfectly named lace pullover worked in a silk wool blend. Imitation Embroidery is its lace, a simple 6 stitch by 6 row repeat. This is a top down design, mostly seamless and trimmed at its hems and neckline with a wide panel rib spawned from the pattern of its lace. Its shallow scooped neckline dips slightly in the back for a romantic touch. Sleeves are worked top down and in the round with short row shaping at their caps, and set in. Enjoy!
