      The idea for this pattern came from the old-fashioned needlework or embroidery samplers that children used to do to learn their stitches. It features 4 different lace patterns, one border pattern and one edging pattern. This pattern looks complicated at first glance because of the various lace patterns. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is simplicity itself. The four lace patterns are all lace knitting, meaning the wrong side rows are purl. A class by Franklin Habit inspired the pattern, where he kindly demystified the process of knitting lace. This pattern is dedicated to him.

      Skill Level: Intermediate

      Size: As written, fits L/XL with bust measurement of 38-44. By eliminating the 2 edging stitches placed on both sides of each panel, it will decrease the total measurement by approx. 4 ½ to fit a 34-38 bust. The garment is not intended to close in the front but to fall smoothly from the shoulders with no front neck shaping.

      Materials:

      Rowan CashSoft 4 ply (Cashmere 10%, Merino Wool Extra Fine 57%, Acrylic Microfiber 33%), 175 yds/50g, Color #444, Amethyst, 7 balls

      US size 6/4mm – or size to obtain gauge.

      Gauge: 23 sts =4" unblocked in st st.

      Notes:

      Blocking: All pieces are wet blocked. Body pieces – i.e. back, sides and side fronts and side backs – shape and pin. Let dry. Sleeves and bobble border, shape but do not pin.

      Binding Off: Use the following stretchy bind off. Go up 1 needle size for bind off. K2tog the back loop. Slip stitch back to left needle. Repeat to end. Break yarn leaving long tail. Pull through last loop. Weave in end.

      Seaming: The object of knitting into the back loop of the last stitch of each row and then slipping the first stitch of the next row with yarn in front is to create a chain edge that makes the sewing together clean and easy. I love construction. I love seeing the bones of a garment. It is up to you whether you choose to emphasize the seams or hide them.

      Size: If wearer has a short/petite or long torso, the number of rows can be adjusted so that back line of border frill hits at the back waist point. The adjustments should take place in the lace panels and will have to be done for all 7 body panels. The sleeves are knit to be ¾ length. If the wearer wishes long sleeves
