School is back in session and you want to dress to impress! With lace detail throughout the body of this short-sleeved cardi and wonderfully girly ruffles along the buttonbands and cuffs, you’re sure to stand out among your classmates. This sweet little sweater is worked in one piece from the hem up to the shoulders. Seamless set-in sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the armholes and shaping the sleeve cap with short-rows. Stitches are picked up between the buttonband and the sweater, then knit into ruffles for extra flair. Knit with a stunning shade of Sweet Georgia Superwash DK, this look is both stylish and practical… just as the Teacher’s Pet should be!
