This little cap sleeve sweater looks great layered over a dress or a simple top, and the a-line fit is flattering for most body types. The sweater is worked seamlessly top-down: the back and the front are worked separately from the shoulders down to the armholes, then joined for the body to be worked in the round. The cap sleeves are worked seamlessly from the armholes and shaped with short rows. The i-cord edging along the neckline, the sleeve openings and the bottom is a smooth finishing touch. The lovely pointelle lace panel is both written and charted.
