Notes

Very vintage. Colour, yarn, even my grandmother’s brooch :)

Jabot redone twice. First time made jabot as in the pattern. It was not good, I didn’t like it. Too large, disproportional and flabby. Frogged. Second time added crocheted scallops and Voilà! To match my scallops I crocheted neck band (8th picture).

Modified sleeves - made it longer to elbows and used the same stitch pattern as for body.

Description of crocheted scallops is taken from the old lithuanian knitting book “Megzkime pačios”, printed in 1969.
