Gayle Shell

Introducing our beautifully designed Elegant Shell, a truly feminine piece that will complement any wardrobe in a variety of colors. This versatile knit pattern features a flattering wide V-neckline that suits every body type, making it a perfect addition for knitters of all skill levels. Constructed in the round from the bottom up, this shell includes stylish waist shaping that enhances your silhouette.

The standout feature of this pattern is the exquisite lace panel, which is thoughtfully crafted on the front only, ensuring that your knitting project progresses quickly and smoothly. The yoke is beautifully designed in a lovely leaf pattern, starting with a provisional cast-on for a seamless look. Each half of the yoke is skillfully worked from the center back out to the armholes, creating an elegant and polished finish.

Once you reach the armholes, you’ll pick up stitches along one long edge of the yoke, allowing for a smooth and easy join to the remaining stitches on the back using the 3-Needle Bind Off (BO) technique. To complete your shell, add a few rounds of stockinette stitch at each armhole, letting them naturally roll to the right side for an effortlessly chic look.
