With winter temps soon to be a distant memory, I found myself longing for a top dense enough to provide some warmth yet lightweight enough to ward off chills. I spent so much time unable to decide, thus Quandary was created. This lightweight sweater with simple lacework and three-quarter sleeves can be worn on its own or layered, making it a versatile wardrobe staple.

Best worn with 2” of positive ease; select a finished circumference that provides this amount of ease.

Sweater pieces are worked flat, then seamed. Set-in sleeves are sewn into body. Collar is worked last in rounds.
