A fun, flattering top with a touch of lace. The V yoke construction is interesting to knit and looks great on lots of body types! The sample was made with Less Traveled Yarn Worsted, a lovely yarn with lots of pretty colors to chose from.

Notes:
This is an A-line sweater worked in the round from the top down. It begins with the seed stitch neckband which then is divided into the sleeves and body. The yoke is shaped by increasing stitches at an even rate for the body only; the sleeve stitches remain constant. The body is shaped with symmetrical increases at center front and back. The entire body is worked in stockinette except for the decorative lace hem. If you alter the body shaping, please note that the lace pattern requires a multiple of 17 stitches. The short sleeves are worked in stockinette and trimmed in seed stitch to match the neckband. The body length can be adjusted by working additional or fewer rounds before the 2.5”/6.5cm Bottom Lace border. If you adjust the sleeve stitch count, make sure you end with an odd number of stitches to work the border.
