          design by Paula Strietelmeier 

Pink, lilac and chocolate colorways combine deliciously rippling, wavy feather-and-fan stripes that anchor the bodice and sleevesachieved with closed increases as opposed to yarn-oversare echoed on the short-row collar. All edges are picked up and finished with a stockinette-stitch welt.
