A pop of lace and an eye catching fade over a relaxed silhouette makes ‘Ember’ glow. From the keyhole opening at the neckline to the ribbed split hem, this sweater balances comfort and class. Knit with lightweight yarn, it’s a seasonal staple!

Construction: Mini Ember is worked top down. Because of the keyhole opening in the back, it is worked flat through the lace at neckline. After working the lace, stitches are cast on and the sweater is then worked in the round until the split hem. Once the hem and I-Cord edging is finished, the sleeves are worked from the yoke to the cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline for the I-Cord edging.

Techniques used: Working flat and in the round, simple striping, raglan shaping, simple lace, provisional cast on for I-cord edging (full instructions included in pattern), I-cord BO.
