Marjorie

All focus is on the sleeves in this sweet pullover. Introducing Marjorie, a feminine design with three quarter raglan sleeves worked in delicate Diamond Mesh lace. Her fit is slim and shapely, extending hip length, with bodice worked simply in stockinette – its plain palate complimenting the active texture of the airy lace. You’ll find this a comfortable project, with minimal seaming (on sleeves and raglan edges of bodice), only a bit of stitch pickup for collar trim, and an easily memorized Diamond Mesh – a 12 stitch by 20 row repeat. Marjorie is worked bottom-up on circular needles until the underarm and start of raglan shaping where it splits and each side is worked separately.
