Lace Sleeves Sweater

Introducing the Lace Sleeves Sweater, a beautifully designed sweater featuring elegant lace details on the sleeves that flow seamlessly to the bottom, creating a romantic and feminine look. This exquisite design not only showcases the intricate lace work but also incorporates a smocking look-a-like stitch at the waist, adding both visual interest and a flattering cinched effect. Perfect for any season, this sweater can be crafted using lightweight fibers—our green sample is expertly knit in 100% cotton Baby Georgia—or in DK weight yarn for a slightly thicker feel. For the colder months, consider using a warm, wooly yarn to create the perfect fall garment. A highlight of this pattern is that no shaping is required in the lace sections; all shaping is elegantly incorporated into the stockinette portions of the design.

This stunning Lace Sleeves Sweater is knit in the round from the top down, ensuring a seamless finish without the hassle of seaming. It is available in a range of sizes to fit different body types, including 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44" bust sizes. If you choose to use DK weight yarn, it is recommended to go down one size—for example, if your usual size is M, you might opt for size S for a better fit.

Needle Information:
For the Fingering weight version, use a 3.00 mm (size 2) 80 cm long circular needle for the neck band, and switch to a 3.50 mm (size 4) 80 cm long circular needle for the remainder of the sweater. If you’re working with DK weight yarn, be sure to adjust your needle choice accordingly for the best results and a comfortable knitting experience.

Perfect for knitters looking for a charming and versatile sweater pattern, the Lace Sleeves Sweater combines practicality with style, making it a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you make it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this delightful sweater is sure to become a cherished piece in any wardrobe.
