Bringing Sexy Back
We’re bringin’ sexy back
Them other sweaters don’t know how to act
I think it’s special, what’s behind your back
So turn around and I’ll pick up the slack
With apologies to Justin Timberlake.
Worked in fingering weight yarn from top down with seamless, simultaneous set-in sleeves (full photo tutorial included!), this lightweight pullover is perfect for tossing over a camisole or bathing suit. The classic front creates a palette for accessorizing with a scarf or necklace while the elegant lace panel gives you a sexy, party-in-the-back feel.
Bringing Sexy Back (BSB) uses the same lace stitch pattern as Front Row Center, but doesn’t merely move the lace panel to the back. BSB has a fitted silhouette that is designed to be worn with either zero ease or a bit of negative ease at the bust while still fitting you in the shoulders. FRC is an A-line tunic designed to be worn with positive ease at the bust, an even more positive ease at the hips and butt.
A photo tutorial walks you through the construction method so you can check your work, and a “Some Thoughts About Fit” section helps you choose a size and modify to your fit preferences.
