Spring Fling Sweater

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

By: Laurel Gervitz

The Spring Fling Sweater mixes stripes and lace into a beautifully unique design! You’ll start at the top neck and knit down, striping in our fun mini skein kits as you go. After the bust, we switch to a simple scalloped lace pattern. The pattern has two sleeve options for you to choose from: short sleeve and 3/4 flared sleeves as shown in the photos here. This is fun pattern to try if lace has intimidated you in the past and the perfect Spring piece to add to your hand knit wardrobe.
