Lucinda Lace Top Down Sweater - P267

Introducing our charming top-down sweater pattern, designed to be worked seamlessly in one piece up to the underarms. This delightful design features a beautiful lace texture that may seem intricate but is surprisingly simple to knit. Once you reach the underarms, the sleeve stitches are transferred to stitch holders, allowing you to work the body and sleeves separately. The main body is crafted in an easy, squishy lace pattern that adds elegance without complexity, while the edges are finished with a classic 2 x 2 ribbing.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to enhance your skills or an experienced knitter in search of a quick and satisfying project, this sweater is sure to become your go-to favorite in your little one’s wardrobe. Crafted from lightweight yarn, it’s ideal for those cooler Autumn and Spring days. Additionally, this lovely pattern will shine when knitted in a lightweight DK cotton, making it a perfect warm-weather sweater for Summer.
