Chunky cables climb a trellis of airy, eyelet lace in the Wildflower Trellis Sweater, combining bold structure with effortless drape. The all-over, repeating pattern is easy to memorize and works up quickly, making it as fun to stitch as it is to wear. Drop-shoulder construction gives it an easy, relaxed fit. Choose sleeves or go sleeveless, add optional crochet or i-cord edgings, and finish with optional embellishments to transform this versatile design into a one-of-a-kind statement sweater!
