Shel Designs Chione PDF

An innovative intersection of a cardigan, a shrug, and a poncho, Chione is a must-have layering piece from Shel Designs. I-cord edgings provide a polished finish to this versatile piece and the combination of Shibui Knits Nest and Tweed Silk Cloud lend softness and texture. Knit flat in pieces form the bottom up, Chione has seams at the shoulders and underarms for structure.
