Ilga Leja's Afternoon Breezes is an openwork
vest, when worked with double yarn overs in a filet mesh pattern, is as gentle
as afternoon summer breezes. Knit in a light, linen-blend yarn, it barely
touches the body, yet graces it with its feminine drape.
Its sideways construction, coupled with short-row shaping at
the sides and along the front, gives the piece its swingy, A-line silhouette.
