Molly combines stripes and lace in the cutest way. A clever back placket and underarm gussets as other small details which make for a well fitting and sweet sweater.

Molly is part of a three sweater set published in the Toastie Pie e-book.

The lace pattern is both written AND charted.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited.
