I finished the sweater I started 10 days ago. I looked for a long time for a pattern and couldn't find one for a lacy girl's sweater. I finally decided to combine 3 different patterns. I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I used a basic Leisure Arts cardigan sweater for the basic structure. It had a doubled button band on it that I didn't want with the look I was going for. I deleted those stitches from the two front pieces. I found the eyelet pattern in an old pattern book for a baby dress. The lace neck and button band was from another Leisure Arts pattern book called Summer Chic. Not a bad effort if I do say so.
I was going to do the same pattern for the other niece, but have changed my mind. My problem is I get bored too easy. I want to do something different for her. I'm just not sure what yet. It will be in the lacy area again though. Perfect for little cardigans to wear to church this winter with their dresses.
