Gayle Shell

Elegant and very feminine, heres one shell that will look great in almost any color. The wide V-neck looks good on everyone. Work the body in the round from the bottom up with some waist shaping for a flattering fit. The lace panel is worked on the front only, so work goes quickly.

A yoke in the leaf pattern is begun with a provisional cast-on and each half of the yoke is worked from the center back out to the armholes. Pick up stitches along one long edge of the yoke, then join the yoke to the remaining stitches on the back using 3-Needle BO. A few rounds of stockinette are added at each armhole and allowed to roll to the right side.
