Description
In this pullover with A gracefully scooped neck and three-quarter-length sleeves, this designer’s allover lace pattern, knitted right to the edge, creates a delicate look. Understated shell edgings at cuff and hem melt into the body pattern. The wide, ribbed neckband is unusual-it follows the front curve almost to the shoulder, but ends just shy of the seam. Worked in cashmere with an easily memorized stitch, the sweater is a pleasure to knit and comfortable to wear.
