Grace

Laced with grace, this feminine pullover features a generous lace rib at waist and cuffs, with a pretty “leaf” lace pattern for the body. The deep Vee neck is also worked in lace rib, and looks lovely over a pretty camisole.

Charts take the guesswork out of shaping in lace for armholes, neck and sleeves. Sample shown in Size 1. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Advanced Intermediate knitters.
