PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. First, the sleeves are knit separately and set aside. Then, the body is worked in the round to the underarms. The body and sleeves are then joined, and raglan shaping begins. After raglan shaping is complete, the neck stitches are bound off, then picked back up and knit in the round for a rolled edge.

The Welted Lace pattern is both written and charted for your convenience. In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise.

Please note, Cotton Supreme Waves is a self-striping yarn. When breaking and rejoining yarn, be sure to visually color match the point at which you’re rejoining, if desired. This may require you to wind off yarn, but the results are well worth your effort. Alternatively, be playful with color and allow the micro-stripes and purl stitches to blend the colors together eclectically.
