Carole Landis Sweater

This stunning sleeveless top pattern is designed for knitters who love versatility and elegance. Knitted from the bottom up in the round, this garment features a seamless construction that enhances comfort and fit. At the underarms, the back and front are crafted separately, allowing for a tailored silhouette. The exquisite lace edging at the hem creates a beautiful scalloped border, which is echoed at the midriff for a charming accent. The body of the top is worked in smooth stockinette stitch, incorporating thoughtful waist shaping that flatters various body types and provides a graceful look.

The delicate picot edging around the neckline and armholes adds a touch of refinement, making this top suitable for both casual outings and special occasions. You can also enhance the design by optionally adding beads to the midriff lace panel, as well as the neck and armhole edges for a bit of sparkle. This pattern allows you to wear it as a stylish vest during cooler seasons or as a breezy sleeveless top in the summer sunshine.

Professionally tech edited for clarity and accuracy, this pattern ensures that knitters of all skill levels can achieve beautiful results. You may substitute most smooth, solid-colored Fingering Weight yarns to create your perfect version of this top. Enjoy the process of crafting a piece that combines comfort, style, and flexibility, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.
