Pattern Notes
This garment can either be knitted in the round or in flat pieces which are then sewn together. Instructions are given for both versions. In both versions the lace yokes on front and back are knitted back and forth then the two sections are joined together, and the eyelet neck edging is worked in the round. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and knitted downwards. The lace pattern is shown in chart form. The garment shown is the sixth size worn on a petite model with 25cm (10in) of positive ease. It is suggested that for a more standard fit you choose a size with approximately 10-12.5cm (4-5in) of positive ease.
