Cute summer sweater with trefoil lace all-over pattern on the skirt and pretty wave border. Sweater is fairly easy to knit with little shaping. Lace pattern is not very demanding, so it’s at the easy end of the intermediate skill level. Elsebeth’s “beloved teddy bear Babdida, aged 56, is modeling the sweater”!
