| Description | The Gatsby Sweety is knitted from the bottom up, starting with a peplum knitted in stockinette stitch with lace yarn. A sport yarn is added for the body, which is knitted in a delicate feather pattern and finished at the front with a strapless effect using shortened rows. The upper body is then knitted with lace yarn alone. Sleeves stitches are picked up along the armholes, and three options are offered: short, three-quarter or long sleeves. The sleeves are finished with a few rows of garter stitch, with the sport and lace yarns held together. The same finishing touch is applied to the ends of the peplum. |
