Gillywater

Gillywater is a lovely, all-over spade lace patterned pullover with a deep scoop neck. This is my favorite way to knit a sweater: the body is bottom up, in the round, then the sleeves are top-down and seamless. Simple stockinette sleeves are a nice break from all that lace.

Construction: This pullover is worked from the bottom up in the round with no waist shaping, then split and worked back and forth to the shoulders. The shoulders are seamed together (but the seams are small, so not scary!), then stitches are picked up around the armholes for seamless, top-down, set-in sleeves. The sleeve caps are shaped with short rows. A little ribbing around the scoop neck finishes the whole thing.
