Turn a plain outfit into something special with this lovely lace collar. Shown here in Tilli Tomas Rock Star, a sumptuous silk yarn plied with beads. Or use your choice of DK / worsted weight yarn. This collar knits up quickly on size 7 US / 4.5 mm needles using only 60 yards of yarn.

The concept for this cover-up was based on a vintage garment style. However, this design is updated with a modern-day relaxed fit and easy-knitting circular construction.

This clever wrap begins simply as a large piece of circular knitting. The magic is in the unique way of binding off to create a semi-fitted short jacket with rounded hemline. The result is similar to a bolero, except with a more feminine look, a softer shape and short sleeves. The design features a lovely fan-shaped lace and twisted stitch pattern, self-trimmed edging and a touch of beads to complete the understated look of this gracious garment.

Beaded shamrocks dance about your legs in these green-on-green socks to celebrate good luck and laughter in the Irish tradition.

• a nylon collapsing eye needle to help you easily string the beads onto the yarn

The yarn is 4 oz (2 skeins) of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in color Sage. The beads are the Miyuki brand, in color Emerald AB, manufactured in Japan with consistently high quality that will not abrade the thread and the finish will not rub off.
