Olive’s Chunky Lace is knitted in the round from the bottom up in stocking stitch, except for the front which is a textured lace pattern, and the trims, which are worked in moss stitch. The sleeves are then worked separately in the round and sewed on, and the collar is knitted in the round in ribbing.
