Pioppino by Åsa Buchta

Craft: Knitting

A sophisticated lace dickie to keep you stylish and warm without extra bulk at the underarms. The back and front pieces are knitted separately and joined at the shoulders, stitches are picked up for the collar, which is worked in the round, and an applied i-cord edging is worked around entire piece.

Use chart or written instructions for stitch pattern.
