Zephyr
The Knits That Breathe e-book is available for purchase and download now on Ravelry. Or, order the paperback from Amazon, your LYS, or on my website.
A study in serene comfort, Zephyr’s pretty lace panels encourage the breeze. Cap sleeves and gentle princess shaping add finesse, while practical pockets keep life simple for the woman on the go. The silk and bamboo fiber blend offers the best of both worlds; a subtle sheen from the silk that elevates this tunic to a dressier level, and gorgeous, airy drape from the bamboo that will make it your go-to for a night out. Because it is worked from the top down, you can easily try on the tunic as you knit, ensuring the perfect fit.

ERRATA
In the YOKE instructions, p. 87, line 10, beginning with “more times,…”: the stitch count in the XS once the increases have been worked should be 154, not 152.
Pattern Notes: The ‘skp‘ instruction in the Harebell Lace pattern in the written row-by-row format is correct as written, but it was misinterpreted on the chart and the chart’s Stitch Key as ‘ssk.’ Both are left-slanting decreases, with slightly different appearances but no impact on the overall outcome of the lace panels. In the Stitch Key and on the chart (p. 89), please correct the ssk to skp throughout.
