Etna

• Product description

  Skate to your own music in a dolman lace top knit inĀ Vale. Increases at the center front and sides create a loose cowl neckline with vintage appeal. The back and raglan sleeves are honeycombed with lace; the front expounds on the motif at a larger scale. A narrow column of stockinette marks the center for visual interest and ease of knitting the increases within the lace pattern. Single rib tubular edges create a professional finish throughout.
