Marjorie

Re-introducing Marjorie – a feminine raglan pullover with a stockinette bodice and lovely, lace, three-quarter sleeves. Newly tweaked with revised text and metrics, this design is worked bottom-up and in-the-round to the armholes where it splits with front and back panels worked separately and flat. The sleeves are worked flat too, in Diamond Mesh Lace – an initially daunting 12 stitch by 20 row repeat, that is easily mastered and oh so pretty, making all knitting efforts worthwhile. Sleeves are seamed and joined to the upper bodice along their raglan edges. Ribbed trim at the neckline matches that at the hems, with stitches picked up from those held at bodice and sleeve tops. It’s a fun project. Enjoy!
