This is a stylish, contemporary, open mesh-stitch jumper, worked flat in pieces from the bottom up. After the pieces are joined, the jumper is finished with a cowl neck and contrasting cord. The back is slightly longer than the front, giving a flattering fit.
The pattern is a great introduction to lace knitting. The contrasting hem and sleeve cuffs add interest.
