An unapologetic confection of frills and beads. The construction is simple enough – lace-sided, beaded godets or inserts are knitted to form a series of flowing frills. Once this pattern is established, we add further inserts, a lacy cast off and a delicate top frill.

Its creamy fabric, which is knitted with Kidsilk Haze and Fine Lace held together is really delicate; the crystal beads add subtle ice to this snowy boa.

Uses 4 x 25g of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and 2 x 50g balls of Rowan Fine Lace, with yarns held together.

Also uses approx 624 beads, size 6.
