The glamour is all in the details when the knitting is this easy! This Silver Palette Design was created by Phoenix Bess for Vogue Knitting's 25th Anniversary Issue. A simple ribbed tube skims your hips and waist, transitioning sharply at the breast to a flattering sparkly bodice worked in soft, beaded merino wool. It's classic elegance all by itself, but add a couture inspired glittery metallic belt and an unbelievably sexy fascinator hat, and you're going to spend the evening turning heads and winning hearts. If you can cut and paste, you can make these unique accessories. The crafting is as easy as the knitting.
