This seamless pullover is a lacey version of my Tia Teva design, and uses the same pretty lace pattern I developed for my Water Hyacinth shawl. The short-row lace inserts shape the neckline and dip the hemline.

Flirt a little!

Construction: First Date is knitted inside out, in one piece seamlessly from the top down. Short-rows shape yoke. Small provisional cast-ons are worked at the underarms.
