Sometimes I come across a pattern or idea that I just can’t get enough of. That’s definitely the case here with the gorgeous lace pattern on this jumper. Originally released as a fingering weight cardigan, The Romantic has been given a makeover and now comes as a round-neck pullover with dropped shoulders.

Knitted from the bottom up with tapered sleeves and long 2/2 ribbing, this worsted yarn project will surprise you with its simplicity.
