Bluebell

This delicate top with set in sleeves, has a lace section worked in one piece, which drapes over the hips from under the bust. The bodice area is worked in garter stitch and is shaped over the bust with darts and short row shaping. Directions for the lace are given in written and chart form and are suitable for a relative novice to lace knitting. The body and sleeve lengths are easily adjustable by simply altering the number of the 12 row pattern repeats. The original yarn has been discontinued, but it appears to be equivalent to 3ply (UK)/ fingering (US), approximately 30 wraps per inch. A possible substitution based on weight and composition is suggested here but it has not been tested for this garment at all. If substituting, be sure to check your tension.
