The front and back of this sweater are worked from the center out. The back is a single eight-sided motif. The front is based on four motifs knit separately and joined to make a larger unit. Overall sweater size is determined by the size of the motifs. Shaping depends on building additional rows of the lace filling stitch onto selected segments. The lace faggoting stitch creates a very stretchy fabric which will block to the appropriate dimensions.
