POINTELLE is a very feminine cardigan with a round neckline, a light peplum, a small lace motif and straight sleeves tightened at cuff.
It is knitted seamlessly, top-down. The yoke begins with the back. The fronts are then picked up on the top of the shoulders which are formed by short rows. The stitches of the sleeves are picked up then worked at the same time as the top of the body and then left on hold at the separation. The body (back and front) is worked back and forth. The button band is worked in double knitting. The colar is work in ribbing.
