Thoughtful lace details, modern structure, and a touch of edge make this a standout addition to any handmade wardrobe. With sculptural lines and an innovative shoulder cutout, this design blends elegance with a bit of rebellion—because sometimes, the best knitting comes from breaking the rules.

FINISHED BUST MEASUREMENTS
34 (37.75, 41.75, 47.75, 51.5) (54.5, 58.75, 62.75)” / 86.75 (96.25, 105.75, 121.5, 131) (138.5, 149.5, 159.75) CM

YARN
Lavender Lune Wool Company, SPORT, (100% NON Superwash Merino Wool) 328 Yards (300 Meters) / 100 grams. Colorway used for sample: “Bellatrix” (light pink). 3 (3, 4, 4, 4) (5, 5, 5) skeins.

OR Approximately 830 (920, 1020, 1170, 1253) (1325, 1434, 1536) yards / 759 (841, 933, 1070, 1146) (1211, 1312, 1404) meters of Sport Weight Yarn

Note: These yarn amounts are estimates. Any changes that knitters make to gauge or the sweater’s measurements will change the amount of yarn you’ll need.

GAUGES
17 stitches and 30 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in Lace Chart, worked in the round on gauge needles, after blocking.

20 stitches and 40 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in Garter Stitch, worked in the round on gauge needles, after blocking.

NEEDLES*
You’ll need two sizes of circular needles in several lengths. First, knit a gauge swatch to determine the size needle that you need for the main body of the sweater. You’ll use a needle one size smaller for the ribbed neckband and hem. For the sample, I used:

US Size 5 / 3.75 mm 16” circular needle, and a magic loop needle for the ribbed neckband and the ribbed cuffs and hem.
US Size 6 / 4 mm circular needle, 16” / 40 cm length for the sweater just below the neckband and 32” / 60cm length for the body. AND a long needle for the Magic Loop Method.
Always choose the needle size that you need in order to obtain the pattern’s gauge.
