CONSTRUCTION
This lace sweater is worked top-down, with a longer raglan yoke for a classic, comfortable fit. After the 1 x 1 Rib collar, short rows and raglan increases are worked, and the simple lace pattern is established at the start of the raglan shaping. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round, and finished with 1 x 1 Rib. The body’s lace pattern is echoed on the sleeves, just before the cuffs.
