Here's the Fern Pattern swatch I mentioned earlier; the double decreases on each side cause a very strong curve to the stitch pattern, which is in fact why I chose to use it. I decided it would give an interesting and flattering shape to the garment: used along the sides, it will create a curved hem, front and back.
Not that you can see it very well in the photo above, but hopefully the shape will become more obvious after a little more knitting.
Sorry, no Italian today; la prossima volta!
The Chinese Lace Pullover is a perfect spring-into-summer project, as shown in cotton (or try a cotton/wool or cotton/linen blend). Lace borders on cuffs and lower hem flow into wide, figure-flattering ribs on the sleeves and body. Directions given for working flat OR in the round. See more patterns
