Classic Lace Sweater Knitting Pattern

Knit a Lace Sweater That Actually Fits

Tired of sweaters that look boxy or pull in the wrong places? This one is shaped close through the shoulders and neckline, then eases into something soft and relaxed everywhere else.

The saddle shoulder raglan is worked top down in one piece, so you can try it on as you go and know exactly how it's fitting before you finish.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 90.5–162.5 cm (XS–5XL), 5–15 cm positive ease

• Nine sizes from XS to 5XL, with the body length and sleeve length made to adjust to your own measurements
• Top down, mostly seamless construction, so there's very little finishing once the last stitch is bound off
• The lace panel comes fully charted and written out, so you always know exactly where you are in the pattern

      "The lace section looks so much more complicated than it actually is once you get going."

Materials

• Fingering or lace weight yarn, held double throughout
• 4 mm and 3.5 mm circular needles (DPNs optional for the sleeves)
• Stitch markers
• Darning needle
