The sweater is worked in a lace pattern top down in one piece. First, the back part is worked until the armholes in an engaging lace pattern. The front parts are then worked separately by picking up stitches along the shoulder line of the back part. To shape the roundneck, there are worked a couple of increases after the first 3 stitches and before the last 3 stitches of a right side row. Then, the front panels are joined and the front part is worked in one piece until it reaches the same length like the back part. Now, back and front part are joined to the round so that the body can be finished in lace pattern in the round. Depending on the size, the lace pattern is working out with the new stitches under the armpit – or it is not (but it won’t be visible for the final garment). The body is finished with a hem in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches. Then, stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armholes. The sleeves are then worked in the same lace pattern in the round like the body has been worked before. The cuffs are worked in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches aswell. Finally, stitches are picked up along the round neck and a double folded collar in 1x1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches is worked along the neckline. The fit of the sweater has a positive ease of 15 to 25 cm, making it very much oversized. The wide fit emphasizes the lightness of the elegant lace pattern making this design perfect for all summer outfits waiting in your closet! This kit only includes the yarn.
