Turtledove is a women’s boxy, square-neck, short-sleeved sweater that is flattering on a variety of figures. Knit in Valley Yarns Granville, the pullover has lace shoulder panels that give it an extra dash of style, making it a wardrobe essential that works well with everything from a pair of jeans to a skirt.
Turtledove is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up. Sleeves are integrated into the body by casting on stitches at each edge at the beginning of armholes. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
