Vintage Lacy Sweater with Collar

This design has a definite 50's look and is chic and super-sweet! The easy 12 row lace pattern has 4 of the lace rows the same - and all the wrong-side rows are purl, so nice and straightforward. The back neck has a 2 button opening. The neckline is finished with 2 knit rows, so if you prefer not to work the collar, the instructions are all there for you for the neck edging.
