I hope that you will love my new sweater as much as I do:)
HOPE and love is put into every stitch.

The body of the sweater is worked in a lovely lace-pattern.
The sleeves are worked in stockinette sts.
The sweater is supposed to be roomy and comfortable, with it’s rounded neck, and box-shaped body.

Construction
The sweater is worked seamlessly, and top-down.
The construction starts at the upper backs shoulders. Upper back and upper front are worked in separate pieces to underarms and the shoulders are shaped by short-rows. At underarms back and front are joined, and the body is completed in one piece to bind-off.
The sleeves are worked top-down and in-the-round.
The neck-line edge is worked from picked-up sts.
