A top-down,circular-yoked, seamless, fitted sweater with short sleeves and short-row shaping. Can be done in a variety of yarns that knit to the gauge of 18 sts to 4 inches. Charted yoke and lace detail at hem, although the lace is closed by knitting into the back of the yos on plain rows to provide texture rather than holiness if desired. Named for the Fuchsia flowers in summer gardens.
Note that cotton yarn will sometimes block out wider and shorter than knit, so be sure to swatch and knit it longer if you are concerned about shrinkage.
