A soft silhouette with a whisper of wavy lace patterning is the song of the day with Pam Allen’s Delta sweater, in Piper. Knitted in the round from the bottom up, with slight a-line shaping, this long-sleeved pullover is kept simple with stockinette sleeves, minimal trims at neck, hem, and cuffs, and graceful drop-shoulder shaping.
