Fiori di Cuore is a seamless lightweight pullover featuring lace panels at the shoulders and at the sleeves. It is worked from the top down. The simultaneous set-in sleeves are worked together with the body in one piece. If you love the look of set-in sleeves but find the seaming intimidating, you may like this seamless construction.

Written and charted directions are given for the lace stitch pattern. Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
