ABOUT THE PATTERN
A sophisticated open lace sweater which includes a variety of stitches and cables. Step-by-step videos are available at www.knottybebe.com.

SIZES
S (M, L, XL)
Bust size is given in pattern for blocking purposes. We allowed for 2-3” ease at the bust as the pattern drapes close to the body due to the cables. For example, I have bust size 35 (measured from the largest point) and knit a size small. This will allow the garment to have a nice shape around the bust while not fitting too tight.
