Knitting kit - Winnie top by Lily Kate France

Delicate lace edgings are knitted separately and then joined using a 3-needle bind-off. This technique creates a beautiful ridge around the neckline, armholes, and hem, giving the illusion that the lace subtly emerges from underneath the garment.

The perfect V-neck: neither too high nor too plunging. Just right to elegantly highlight the décolletage.

A tracking sheet is included to help keep track of increases and decreases. The armholes and neckline feature varying increase rates, so each size has its own row-by-row chart.
