An original pattern by contemporary artist Kristen Stein for a lace motif twist-front sweater top suitable for all seasons. The basic pattern allows for a loose-fitting dolman “batwing” sweater with short sleeves and draped front. Additional variations are provided to allow for adding motifs for sleeves and or decorative edging. The pattern is written as a “one size fits most” with suggestions on modifying the piece for a tighter fit, or allowing for looser fitting sweater with greater drape.

An incredibly comfortable garment that can be replicated relatively quickly using repeated motifs. It is a versatile piece that can be worn layered in the fall or winter, or thrown over a tank top or bathing suit in the spring and summer. A impressive addition to your wardrobe that you can be proud to say that you made by hand.

Laid flat the garment measures approx 18 inches in height and 20 inches from armpit to armpit. The lace construction & criss-cross nature of the pullover allows for additional stretch. It is meant to fit loosely around the body and drape slightly.
