Glimmer
by Kim Guzman
Glimmer is the perfect wearable retort to those who say that crochet is heavy and doesn't drape nicely on the body! The soft, mohair blend yarn has just a hint of sparkle, and the resulting fabric is light as clouds.
Glimmer is easy on the crocheter as well as the wearer, with one-piece construction for a minimum of finishing fuss. It's will be a go-to layering piece in your closet, adding a little warmth and visual interest to both business and casual attire.
