LACY knitted jumper has a boat - shaped neckline. Waistband is in stocking-stitch. • The lacy jumper at left is high fashion, cool for summer, and easy to make. Here are the directions.

Materials: 7 (7-8) balls Lincoln Daphne crochet wool; 1 pr. each Nos. 6 and 12 knitting needles (Old UK); 1 No. 3 steel crochet hook; 1 lead weight; 2 in. buckle.

Measurements: To fit 32 (34, 36) in. bust; length from back of neck, 20½ (21-24) in.

Tension: 7½ sts. to 1 in. (stocking-stitch); 5½ sts. to 1 in. (pattern).

ERRATA
At the end of the waistband instructions, before casting off, you need to knit another 10 rows in stockinette stitch. The fold line is after row 22. The missing 10 rows allow you to fold the belt in half so that the two sides are symmetrical.
