A small lace insert turns this otherwise plain sweater into a versatile top that’s equally at home in an office, at a nightclub, or as a casual topper for a pair of jeans and cowboy boots. The lace panel featured in this chapter has been downsized to a simple subtle embellishment. The body of this top is worked in the round from the bottom to the armholes for easy knitting; the sleeve caps are pleated for gentle fullness.
