Re-Introducing Jeanette, rewritten and recalculated in 8 sizes, now with added metrics.

This is a lacy pullover perfect for a night out or any time you feel like jazzing things up a bit. Its three-quarter length sleeves and upper bodice are worked in Ribbon lace (an easily mastered 9 stitch by 20 row repeat) that compliments the calm of its shaped lower bodice. This design, worked bottom-up and in the round, is slim-fitting and extends mid-hip in length with garter stitch trimming. Sleeves are worked in the round as well, with caps set in. Enjoy!
