PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the lace pattern and if you notice that it is looser than the stockinette stitch, please use smaller needles for working the lace section of your sweater.
• The sweater is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band/ribbing, then work neck shaping with short rows and then continue working in the round. After the round yoke, you work another set of short rows for better shaping and then separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately.
• For reverse stockinette, you knit on the wrong side.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
