Penelope

This delicate camisole is worked in the round to the underarms and front and back is then worked separately to the shoulders.

Penelope is worked from the bottom up with a wide lace border which will transition into an easy arrowhead lace pattern in stocking stitch for the body. The edging at the top of the body and bottom of the lace border as well as the shoulder straps is worked in moss stitch.

Penelope was originally published by Artesano. The new pattern has a few changes.
