Seamed Set-in Sleeve Lace Sweater Pattern
Classic, but fresh - and with options to make it your own - the Classic Colorblock is a mid-autumn sweater ideal for layering. This pullover features a clean all-over lace pattern on the body, crisp stockinette sleeves, and deep twisted rib trim.
This pullover features very gentle A-line shaping. The pattern includes instructions for a cropped and full-length version, as well as full-fit and trim-fit sleeve options for maximum customization. Cropped, wear this pullover with high-waisted jeans, or layered over a cami or linen dress. The sleeves are designed be worn under jackets, and Classic Colorblock is ready-made to style with knit shawlettes and scarves.
