Description

From the book: "Here is a charming allover pattern based on the Embossed Bell Motif. In Bells and Bell-Ropes the little bells are less bold, since they are formed at the bottom out of a single stitch instead of a number of cast-on stitches. An attractive novelty sweater could be worked in this pattern and trimmed with the Embossed Bell Motif."
