Whether you want to look naughty or nice, showing a little skin is a fun privilege of summer.  Luckily, Marianne and Helga Isager have begun a new line of patterns - available as single leaflets - starting with a trio of alluring lace tops.

 

Traditional lace motifs grace each of these attractive sweaters, flirting with the eye while keeping the wearer cool on warm days.  Perfect for layering (or not!), they are a pleasant change from the usual summer standby of shorts and t-shirt.

 

Available in a variety of sizes, from svelt to voluptuous, these lovely summer pieces are ideal for work or play, dressing up... or down.  Worthy of a upscale boutique, the garments feature unique design details, elegant finishing, and classic silhouettes.  Even better, many of them can be made with just three balls of yarn! 

 

Designed with several of the Isager yarns, knitters can customize how warm or cool they want their knit to be.  Made with crisp and breezy Viscolin, any of these three patterns would be comfortable in the most arid of climates.  Knitters in temperate climates could try the plush Hoejlandsgarn for a light-as-air knit with thermal properties.  Or, knitters experiencing La Nina might want to use Alpaca 2, a sumptuous blend of baby alpaca and Merino lambswool, to keep warm on cool summer nights.

 

If you've been craving something new, we dare you to try any of these new patterns and give risqué a chance!  You might just enjoy the experience.
