Feather & Fan-tastic

Discover the charm of our loose, feminine sweater pattern featuring exquisite lace details, inspired by the stunning design worn by Lady Edith in Downton Abbey’s season 5, episode 6. This elegant sweater is perfect for knitters looking to create a cozy yet stylish piece that embodies vintage sophistication.

This delightful sweater pattern is worked flat from the front to the back, skillfully binding off stitches for the front neckline. After finishing the shoulders, stitches are cast on for the back neck, seamlessly joining the work once again. The sides are thoughtfully seamed to enhance the overall structure, while stitches are picked up along the armholes, allowing you to knit the chic 3/4 length sleeves in the round for a polished finish.

For your convenience, the actual garment measurements are as follows: 79-113-146.5 cm / 31-44.5-57.75 inches. This sweater is designed to be worn with generous positive ease, with a recommended allowance of 10-15 cm / 4-6 inches for a comfortable fit. The sample shown is a size M, crafted for a bust measurement of 94 cm / 37 inches, making it a versatile choice for various body types.
