Lydia

A very pretty sweater, with a deep V neck. The front and back are worked in a combination of simple lace and cable. The cables and lace panels are continued in one with the front to frame the V neck, with decreases worked within the background pattern only. The cables only, are then continued round to the centre back of neck and joined together to give a neat finish. The sleeves have a very deep rib shaped lower section with the rest worked in stocking stitch.
