One-sleeved bolero
I'm thinking I'm done! Just bind off, and...just kidding. But mostly so far, so good, although I'm going to rework the sleeve cuff; I was thinking I would do a fairly snug ribbed cuff that would be best worn pushed up on the forearm, but this one is too tight and unyielding.
The color of the yarn
is better represented in the second photo. I reworked the neck four times using various edge treatments, including a twisted cable rib, but in the end I decided simpler is better. I also blocked right after casting on stitches for the underarms, to make sure I wasn't misjudging the final gauge; if you look carefully, you can see the transition between the blocked and unblocked fabric.

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
