CHIONE is a cross between a cape, wrap and cardigan, with an oversized fit, cropped front hem and longer, curved back hem. CHIONE can be worn with the front neck edges open or closed with snaps or a shawl pin.

CHIONE is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then seamed at the front shoulders and underarms, with Nest and Tweed Silk Cloud held together throughout. I-cord edgings are worked at the hem, sleeve openings, back shoulder seam and collar bind-offs.
