DETAILS
The Kathleen sweater is knitted in a lovely and beautiful all-over lace pattern. A delightful sweater to knit. If you enjoy lace knitting, this one is one you will love.
The sweater is designed a bit boxy and cropped, so if you prefer a longer length, you can easily adjust it before starting. Measurements and instructions for how to lengthen the body are included in the pattern, making it easy to adjust to your preferred length.
The sweater is knitted in a medium worsted weight yarn held with one strand of kid silk mohair, which gives it a light and soft touch.
The “Ivory” sample is knitted in Juniper Moon Farm – Bluefaced Leicester, colorway Ivory, held with Emma’s Marvelous Mohair, colorway On the Rocks.
The sweater is worked in the round, from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The body and the sleeves are joined at the armholes and worked in the round at the raglan up to the front neck, where short rows shape the neckline. The neck, cuffs, and hem are worked in twisted ribbing.
