Lillian, harbinger of spring! This garter-trimmed, color-block pullover is a delightful transition piece for welcoming warmer weather. Subtle shaping at center front and back panels creates a slimming visual, enhanced by the garter waistbands at its sides. The nubbly garter stitches of its rounded shawl collar are picked up from its neckline, with short rows that disappear into its shaping. This design is worked bottom-up with easy seaming at its side panels. Sleeves and collar are worked in the round. It’s a fun project. Enjoy!
