Glimmer is the perfect wearable retort to those who say that crochet is heavy and doesn’t drape nicely on the body! The soft, mohair blend yarn has just a hint of sparkle, and the resulting fabric is light as clouds.

Glimmer is easy on the crocheter as well as the wearer, with one-piece construction for a minimum of finishing fuss. It will be a go-to layering piece in your closet, adding a little warmth and visual interest to both business and casual attire.
