Nestled Leaves is a sleeveless summer top featuring decorative leaves running along the center front and back of the sweater. The visually striking lace panel is knit between reverse stockinette stitches, allowing the leaves to stand out in the center of the garment.

Although the leaf motif appears complex, it is quite simple to knit. The panel incorporates basic knitting stitches including knits, purls, yarn overs, and decreases, resulting in an impressive centerpiece that knitters can proudly wear in the spring and summer months.

Lace pattern is written and charted.
