You’re certain to be noticed both coming AND going wearing this latest pullover – the lovely Laura! Its long sleeves and back bodice, with plunging back neckline, are adorned with Lace Entrelac – a wonderfully floral yet simple stitch repeat that adds a romantic touch. This piece is slim-fitting and extends mid-hip in length with garter stitch trimming. Worked bottom-up, the lower portion begins as one piece on circular needles – stockinette stitch in front and lace in back – until the underarm where it splits and each side is worked separately. It’s an enjoyable project to make and even more fun to wear.
