Dinner-Date

This sweater is ideal for daywear into evening especially if you work it in this subtle, sparkly yarn. The back and front have a lovely wide eyelet panel set into the striped section, with a purl ridge at upper and lower edges of each stripe. The sleeves have a shaped slit at lower edge, no awkward borders to knit onto the slits as the edges roll under to reveal the wrist. Sew on a pretty button to the top of slits to add the perfect finish.
