From The New Vintage Knitting Collection: Patterns Inspired by Nostalgic Designs
Inspired by the fitted sweaters of the late 1950s and early 1960s, this top evokes the feeling of a classic elegance but still manages to feel comfortable and modern. The conservative, high neckline features a small keyhole aperture that makes takes this blouse into many styles.

Boccioli (blossoms in Italian) is an infinity scarf worked sideways to the desired length, followed by some grafting. Its boldest feature is in its simple lacework that’s enlivened by small bobbles in a contrasting, yet delicate, color. The lace pattern resembles the leaves of Italian heirloom zucchini, with flowers on the top of some branches, each one presented in different lengths to mimic a natural flowering pattern. The design has intentionally a vintage feel, reminiscent of old-hand embroidery with its small bobbles integrated in the lace stitches and the use of a color choice with mild contrasts.
