Notes:
The lace pattern begins and ends with a knit stitch,
and the lace pattern is worked on both the front
and on the back of the shell. This creates a 2 stitch
“side seam” on both the right and left sides of the
sweater. These “side seams” separate the front
and the back of the shell.
Decreases at the beginning of a right side row are
worked as an SSK, and at the end of a right side row
are worked as a K2tog. Decreases at the beginning
of a wrong side row are worked as a p2tog,
and at the end of a wrong side row are worked as
a p2tog-Tbl (through back loop.) Decreases can also
be worked by leaving out a YO while maintaining
the rest of the lace pattern.
The lace pattern is a 9 stitch repeat. I place a marker
every 9 stitches. This helps isolate mistakes, and will
also help keep track of decreases. The lace pattern
is balanced. There are 2 decreases, and 2 increases.
As you decrease, keep in mind that you need to keep
your lace decreases and increases balanced so that
you don’t double decrease (decrease on the edge,
and then decrease within the lace pattern without
a corresponding increase) or undo a decrease (decrease on the edge, then
increase within the lace pattern without a corresponding decrease.) At some
points you will have to work up to half of the lace pattern in Stockinette stitch to
maintain the correct number
of stitches.
Begin pattern:
CO 83 (92, 101, 119, 128) sts, pm, CO 84 (93, 102, 120, 129) using the long tail
method.

Garter Stitch Border
Reverse the needles so that the working yarn is attached
the left needle. To join in the round, slip the first stitch from
the right needle to the left needle, K2tog, PM for beginning
of round, do not turn. The purl ridge from the cast on is
the first garter stitch border ridge. Knit to end of round.
Continue in the round as follows:
Round 2: Purl
Round 3: Knit
Begin Lace
Work the lace pattern starting with Round 1 from the begin-
ning of the round to the first marker (this is the back of the
shell), then repeat the lace pattern from this marker to the
end of the round (front of shell.) Repeat the 4 rounds of the
lace pattern until the shell measures 17 (16.5, 16, 15,
14.25)”from the CO edge, ending with either round 2 or 4.
Shape Armholes, Back of Shell
BO 5(5, 6, 6, 7) sts, then work across the back in pattern to
the marker. Transfer the stitches for the front of the shell to
the 2nd- 24” circular needle to be worked after the back is
complete. The Back will now be worked flat. BO 5 (5, 6, 6, 7)
sts, then purl to end of row. Continue in the lace pattern, de-
creasing 1 st on each end every right side row 4 (4, 5, 6, 7)
times. 65 (74, 79, 95, 100) sts.
Work even in lace pattern until armhole measures 8 (8.5, 9,
10, 10.75)” from initial armhole BO.
Shape Neck
Work 16 (17, 19, 23, 25) sts in pattern, BO 33 (40, 41, 49, 50)
sts, work 16 (17, 19, 23, 25) sts. Place remaining shoulder sts
on stitch holders.
Shape Armholes and V-Neck, Front of Shell

and on each neck edge every right side row 4 (13, 15,
24, 24) times, then every 3 rows 12 (6, 5, 0, 0) times.
16 (17, 19, 23, 25) sts remain for each shoulder. Work
