Fenne

the voice of beauty speaks softly  *

Indulge yourself with all the outstanding details Fenne has to offer. There’s the beautiful colorwork inviting you to some serious colorplay, the soft but sturdy cables and a construction that follows the contours of the shoulders beautifully.

Depending on your choices, Fenne can be just as much at her place at a wedding, as next to the fireplace in a countryside cottage. But whatever you do or where ever you go, you can depend on her easy elegance to see you through the adventure in a very attractive fashion.

CONSTRUCTION
Fenne is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. After you’ve worked the body to the underarms, you will set it aside and work the sleeves. Then the body is joined with the sleeves and worked in the round using decreases to shape the yoke. The shirt yoke that is worked flat and perpendicular to the body, is joined to the front and back by knitting the stitches of the yoke together with the body stitches.
