Lucinda is a lightweight lace sweater. It has a perfect amount of positive ease and the sleeves are puffy.
Done in cotton this is the perfect sweater for those chilly summer days, done in wool you have a perfect fall sweater. Over a skirt it looks a little “dressy”.
It is worked top down and in one piece, so no sewing involved. The yoke is explained by charts, while the rest of the pattern is written.
