Bartonia is knitted flat in pieces from the bottom up, with set-in sleeves and is seamed after wards. Its waist length body and elbow length sleeve make this cute little sweater a rather fast project. An easy to memorize and simple lace pattern covers approximately one third of the back and two thirds of the front. The rest is knitted in reverse stockinette stitch. The wide and high neckline accentuates your collar bone. You will cast on stitches for the waist and then start to increase for the bust.
