Anahis

Anahis is the garment you’ll be reaching for from the first crisp day of autumn to the last gray day of spring, year after year! This stunning, elegant design features a stranded colorwork pattern around the lower edge and a simple construction that flatters every body. This straightforward pattern is a joy to knit, and is suitable for a knitter with any experience in stranded colorwork (or even an adventurous colorwork beginner; the pattern isn’t complicated, but the garment is large!). The simple construction requires only a bit of seaming at the shoulders, and 3 buttons on each side finish off the look in beautifully simple fashion.
