Just Nicole got a makeover and is now better than ever! She now includes expanded sizing, options for either a cropped or longer length and a brand new look along with links to video tutorials & an included diagram further demonstrating this fabulous construction method.
With Pointelle Lace panels embracing the sides, this top down sweater drapes and flows elegantly. Set-in seamless sleeves create the perfect contour for any body type and options are included for cap or long-sleeves as well as a cropped or longer sweater. This A-line shaped pullover is finished with a hi-lo hem. Easy Pointelle Lace Pattern is written. Pattern is designed for intermediate knitters comfortable with alternating between several stitch patterns. Knitters should also be comfortable with short row shaping in pattern, provisional and cable cast-ons. Written instructions are provided for cast-ons.
