Shel Designs Beacon PDF

Shel Designs Beacon, a collaboration with Shibui Knits, is  a women's pullover worked in Haven and Tweed Silk Cloud held together throughout. Beacon features a cropped length, roomy sleeves, and a rounded neckline that adds stylish comfortability. This lovely pullover is knit in the round from the bottom up, then divided at the armholes. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. Shibui Haven lends a velvet-like drape, accented by Tweed Silk Cloud’s intriguing texture.
