Pattern Notes ~ The pullover is worked from the bottom up in the round. The lace pattern may be worked from charts or written instructions. It is split at the level of the underarms to work the front and back separately and joined at the shoulders with a 3-needle bind off. Stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves which are worked the round.
