Elegance

This elegant pullover features Japanese stitch lace knitting patterns in a decorative peplum with matching sleeve cuffs, and rich, textured lace panels. Gentle waist shaping creates a feminine outline and the picot neck edge draws attention to the face.

The pullover is worked in the round in one piece to the armholes, where work is divided for fronts and back. Sleeves are worked flat. After sewing sleeve seams and shoulders, sleeve caps are inserted into armhole openings and sewn. Then a pretty picot edge is worked around the neck. Our sample was knit in Size 1 and Soft White. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Advanced Intermediate knitters.
