Aleks’ grandmother Hilja loved lace and knitting lace shawls, and this pattern is inspired by the idea of wrapping a lace shawl around your shoulders — the name Pitsiline means ‘lacy’ in Estonian. The lace pattern is a simple design from Hilja’s sketchbooks. This cropped, cardigan-style jacket features overlay lace panels that evoke the shape of a triangular lace shawl. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The lace panels are knitted flat from the shoulders down into a tip and stitched to each front on the loose edges.
