My mother told me that she’d like me to design a sweater for her to knit … a pullover with a boat neck and a little lace on the yoke and the sleeves, nothing too complicated … well, her wish is my command!

Construction: Sweater front, back and sleeves are worked flat from the top down and seamed (although sweater body and sleeves could be worked in the round (just eliminate selvedge stitches) below underarms), with a stockinette body and wide ribs on the sleeves that transition beautifully into lace.

(Here’s a link to my wrapless short row method, used here): http://www.sundayknits.com/techniques/shortrows.html
