The design was born from a desire to create something with an all over lace motif that keeps changing all the time. It’s a true celebration of the textures and intricate shapes that we can create with our knitting needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe top is worked top down, first the upper back and front are worked back and forth, and then the body is worked in the round.
