Melissa Leapman

for Fiesta Yarns   2010

Jester Tunic

Leapman is of course extremely talented, but more than that, she's a very sound designer-- she's better than most at wedding a yarn to a design. Ballet is 50% superfine alpaca and 50% Tencel, which makes it extraordinarily soft and drapey. So here Leapman has created a flow of fabric over your body, with intensely slimming lines, cunning little eyelet panels, and a bobbled lace hem and cuffs. Gentle, feminine, and terribly interesting to knit. Armholes are indented once and sleeve tops are flat, for a modified drop shoulder; back neck is shaped. A cropped variation on this style, the Jester Sweater, is also available.
