Sweet and timeless, we love this darling short sleeved lace jumper, with a neat little Peter Pan collar! The lace repeat is worked over 17 stitches, front and back, and is echoed on the sleeves, that reach just below the elbow. Vintage Leaf is a thoroughly modern example of a gorgeous piece of knitwear that combines elements of vintage knits with modern yarn - we love it! Knitted flat and seamed.
