ADD A POP OF COLOUR WITH JO ALLPORT’S LACY TEE
Welcome in sunny spring days with a light and lovely addition to your wardrobe.
This layering garment is knitted in wool which is a good choice for all weathers,
and the openwork design means you won’t overheat. There’s very little shaping
in the body so you’ll have plenty of time to get to grips with the lace stitches.
Use stitch markers to help you keep track of the pattern.Contrast
