Lena

Here’s *Lena*! – a versatile all-season pullover, super terrific wardrobe addition, AND very fun knit! Lena’s fit is slim and shapely, extending high hip in length. Her neckline is a wide shallow scoop that enhances the drama of her raglan three-quarter sleeves, all trimmed up 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 comfortably and oh so invisibly! Lena is worked bottom-up on circular needles until the underarm and start of raglan shaping where the bodice splits and each side is worked separately. The neckline trim is continued from stitches held with just a bit of pick up along each side front. REQUIRED TECHNIQUES: knit, purl, yo, k2tog, ssk, sl1-k2tog-psso, m1r, m1l, p2tog, p2tog tbl, long-tail CO method, stitch pick for neckline trim, blocking, and seaming.
