Lena

Lena is a versatile all-season pullover with three-quarter sleeves and a wide shallow scoop neckline. The fit is slim and shaped, extending high hip in length and trimmed in a 1x1 rib. Double Wing lace is Lena's overall texture – an easily memorized 16 stitch by 10 row repeat. Its reverse stockinette, re-employed at the edges, allows (minimal) seaming to be worked easily. This piece is worked bottom up on circular needles, until the underarm and start of raglan shaping where bodice splits and each side is worked separately. The neckline trim is continued from stitches held with a small amount of pick up along each side front.
