I love this lace pattern! There’s a lot of detail in the lace, so I chose to keep the shape of the piece very simple. The body is worked in the round to the armholes, then stitches are cast on for the sleeves, and the back and front are worked separately to the beginning of shoulder shaping. The shoulders are shaped using short rows or bind-offs – your choice.
The lace patterns, both flat and circular, are presented in both written and charted formats.

Like many knitters, I learned how to knit from my mother at an early age, then promptly forgot as life got in the way. I returned to it for a short time as a student in Paris when a friend convinced me to try it again. The third time was the charm—my mother retaught me while I was in grad school. I was tired of trying to find sweaters with long enough sleeves to fit my 6′ frame, so I decided I’d just make my own. I fell madly in love with knitting, and eventually slipped into designing for myself when I began reworking existing patterns with elements that I liked better. And, of course, adjusting the sleeve and body lengths.
