Triticum aestivum is the Latin name for common wheat, but don’t worry - the Wheat Lace stitch in this elegant sweater won’t add to your gluten intake. With elbow length bell sleeves, sequined yarn, and fringed pearl trim, Dinner at Tiffany’s is elegant enough for any occasion. Wear it with the opening facing the back or the front. The body of the sweater is worked from the bottom up in one piece. The sleeves are worked separately and seamed for stability. The pattern was inspired by and devised in collaboration with my late mother and first knitting instructor, Georgina Steinford, much missed.
