PATTERN INFORMATION
Slightly cropped colorblock sweater with a cute lace pattern on front and back. The sweater is worked from bottom up, front and back separately. Shoulders are shaped with short rows and shoulder seams are joined with Three-needle bind-off. Neck ribbing is worked in the round, folded in half and sewn on the inside. Sleeve stitches are then picked up from each side of the body and the sleeves are worked back and forth in rows towards the cuffs. Sleeve ribbings are worked in the round.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for seaming. The lace pattern is written.
