Lavender sweater is a hip length style knit with boat neck and 3/4 balloon sleeves. It is worked bottom to top in Diamond stitch pattern for body and in Stockinette stitch pattern for sleeves. Neck, cuffs and hem are worked in Rib stitch pattern. Sweater body and sleeves are worked straight, therefore it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. Lavender sweater is feminine knit that fits well with jeans or other clothes.
