A loose, feminine sweater with lace details, inspired by a sweater worn by Lady Edith in Downton Abbey’s season 5, episode 6.

The sweater is worked flat from front to back, binding off stitches for the front neckline, working the shoulders, then stitches are cast on for the back neck as the work is joined again.
The sides are seamed, and stitches are picked up along the armholes to work the 3/4 length sleeves in the round.

A note on sizes:
There are only 3 sizes between which the span is pretty large - this is because of the nature of the Feather Fan pattern and the number of repeats. You can't just size the pattern up or down by adding or subtracting a number of repeats. However, some testers have successfully substituted heavier yarn weights (and larger needle size), thus scaling up one of the sizes given. Check your gauge before you begin, so you can calculate the final size!
