The upper body and sleeves are knit from the center out to the sleeve cuff, with some short rows worked to shape the armholes and sleeve caps. The lace body is picked up from the lower edge of the bodice and worked in the round to the lower edge.

This is a really fun-to-knit, seamless sweater that will add a comfortable touch of style to any wardrobe.
