Lace stitches can look spectacular worked in heavier-weight yarns, as this new design from Jacinta Bowie demonstrates. She has used an aran-weight cotton from DMC to showcase a lovely lace and rib pattern with heart-like motifs. The sweater has set-in sleeves, and the cuffs and neckline are finished with rolled stocking stitch edges. DMC’s Natura Just Cotton Medium is a matt cotton which is available in a range of neutrals and cheerful modern colours.
