TWEEDY LACE got its name from the beautiful tweed yarn by Woolissime which I used for this sweater.

It is made from the bottom up, first the body and the sleeves are worked separately and then joined together at the circular yoke.

The range of ease across all the sizes is 9-11 cm/3.5-4.5”. The picture shows size 2 with 11 cm/4.5” of positive ease.
