Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

This pattern is perfect for knitters who enjoy pointelle lacework without excessive complexity. The repeats are straightforward to memorise, the shaping is clean, and the finished sweater can be worn as a layering piece in spring and autumn or styled under jackets during cooler months.

The garment is worked in Double Knitting (DK / 8-ply) yarn, chosen for its balance of warmth, softness, and drape. The lace panels run throughout the body and sleeves, creating a delicate openwork effect that looks sophisticated yet is easy to achieve once you fall into the rhythm of the repeats. A deep ribbed neckband is worked and folded to the inside, giving a polished, double-layer finish around the neckline.

Sized to fit busts 32–42 inches (80–105 cm), the sweater is constructed in pieces for durability and seamed together for a professional fit.

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.

Yarn Suggestions Disclaimer

The yarns listed are suggested alternatives chosen to match the pattern’s yarn weight, gauge, and general fabric characteristics. They are not endorsements, and Marle & Row receive no compensation from any manufacturer. Always knit and block a tension swatch and adjust your needle size to obtain the stated gauge before beginning. If your chosen yarn has different meterage per ball or a different fibre composition (for example, superwash, cotton, linen, viscose, or acrylic blends), you may need to adjust the quantity purchased and expect differences in drape, warmth, and stitch definition. Substitutions are at the knitter’s discretion, and it is advisable to buy a little extra yarn to allow for swatching, matching dye lots, and any personal modifications.
