Lattice Embrace
Lattice Embrace is a slightly dressy alternative for when you need a warm hug. Wear this sweater with a long skirt or with jeans-it’s a loose cuddle when you need it, with a sophisticated ribbing. Worked in pieces, with any bulky weight yarn or combination of yarns that knit at 3 stitches to the inch, this is an easy pattern for a knitter’s first sweater.
Oversized, with drop shoulders, this coat is not burdened with buttonhole plackets to add bulk. No tight shapes or constraints…. Close this sweater with a flexible number of buttons from 1-6, three-quarters of the way across your bust, for a slightly off-set look. At the neckline, button up tight against the chill or unbutton the top button for a folded over triangle. This will embrace you on chilly days, with a lattice-like ribbing for ‘office’ occasions. Go ahead. Turn the thermostat down a little.
