Quandary
With winter temps soon to be a distant memory, I found myself longing for a top dense enough to provide some warmth yet lightweight enough to ward off chills. I spent so much time unable to decide, thus Quandary was created. This lightweight sweater with simple lacework and three-quarter sleeves can be worn on its own or layered, making it a rather versatile piece.
Quandary is knit flat, then seamed. Set-in sleeves are sewn into body. Collar is worked last in rounds.
Sweater is designed to be worn with 2” of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx 2” larger in circumference than your bust measurement. Select a finished circumference that provides this amount of positive ease.
