A bit of lace to get truly excited about, this little sweater is one for the passionate knitter. A bit of challenge in the lace patterns at the start gets the blood racing and then there’s sprint to the finish with cropped sleeves and body.

The sweater is knit top down in the round with the sleeve stitches held and then knit down separately. Short rows raise the back neck and lengthen the back above the hem. Optional waist shaping can be implemented to create a form-fitting silhouette as shown in the sample.
