The ubiquitous lace trim of Victorian-era dresses inspired the details of this fitted feminine pullover. The airy laciness of the collar and cuffs provides an interesting contrast to the slim silhouette of the body. This sweater has turned hems to keep it laying smooth on the hip and wrist and is worked entirely in the round, achieving its’ curves through the use of short rows and waist decreases. The lace is knit directly onto the body of the sweater, keeping finishing to a minimum.

Original design by Becky Herrick
Becky Herrick is a fiber obsessed, transplant Vermonter. She thinks one of the best things about Vermont is the weather – at least once in August it will be cold enough for a sweater. She lives with her husband as well as 2 dogs, 2 cats, and an ever changing number of chickens. When she is not knitting she can be found outdoors: gardening, hiking, snowshoeing, or canoeing, depending on the season of course. You can read more about Becky's knitting and other adventures on her blog.
