The Ophelia Sweater is a feminine sweater featuring a wrap-style V-neck, lace pattern, and picot edges. Wear it casually or for dressed-up occasions, swapping the i-cord tie at the waist with a silk ribbon.

The sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases and shaping for the V-neck. It is is worked back and forth until it reaches the underarm, then divided for body and sleeves. Stitches are picked up for the picot edge along the V-neck, after which the front pieces are joined. The body is then worked in the round. Finally, the sleeves are worked separately. Technique tutorials are found on the last page of the pattern.

Ophelia Sweater is a relatively easy knit project, using mainly basic knitting techniques like stockinette, raglan increases, reductions and a simple eyelets.
