Lady Schenley is a fun twist on a classic v-neck pullover. With options for interesting sleeve details and pockets, you can really make this sweater your own. Knit it with more ease for a relaxed, wear-everywhere, weekend favorite. Or, opt for less ease for a polished, put-together pullover meant for everyday wear. Instructions for both a cabled sleeve and a lace sleeve are included in the pattern.
