When cool weather begins, we crave soft and cozy sweaters to spend our days wearing. Combining a delicate lace hem with a hazy and soft texture for the body, Marley is one of those perfect Autumn sweaters. A combination of feminine and practical, the colors available in Whisper Lace and Alaska will allow you to create a combination all your own.

PATTERN NOTES
Marley is worked in the round from the bottom up. First, the Lace Section is worked using one strand of Whisper Lace. After the correct length of the Lace Hem Section is achieved, stitches are decreased and then placed on hold. Then, the Ribbing of the main body of the sweater is worked. The Hem and the Lace Hem Section are joined by knitting two stitches together. The body of the sweater is knit using one strand each of Alaska and Whisper Lace held together. The front and back of the sweater are separated at the underarms and worked flat. The sleeves are knit flat and seamed. Finally, stitches for the neckband are picked up and worked in the round.
