I used Prism Sport Weight Euroflax Linen, which normally knits at 22 sts to 4”, and I knitted it looser, 20 sts to 4”. This is the perfect casual chic piece to throw on. The lacy pattern is a multiple of 15, plus 2, and all of the wrong side rows are purl. You knit the lower body, then cast on more stitches for the sleeve and work the upper body and the sleeves at the same time. The thin garter st bands are worked at the same time as the body, no after knitting. The only sewing is the sleeve seams and the side seams.

I think that you will enjoy knitting and wearing this creation.
