Mrs Donahue

Mrs. Donahue is the latest in my style series, positioned somewhere between a cardigan and a shrug! This highhip length design, slightly shaped at the waist, is worked from the bottom up, in one piece until the armholes, where its fronts and back split and each are worked separately. Halflength sleeves are worked bottom up, in the round, and setin. Row tracking grids for both bodice and sleeves make the knitting of its overall 2×2 Rib Lace texture a breeze. Stitches are picked up along the center fronts and back neckline for rib trimming. Enjoy!

SKILLS REQUIRED Longtail cast on, circular knitting, decreasing (skp, ssk, k2tog, p2tog), increasing (m1L, yo), 3needle BO, short row shaping, setting in sleeve caps, stitch pickup around neckline/center front, and blocking.

14 page pdf includes pattern instructions, photographs, schematics, tutorial links, bodice and sleeve row tracking grids for managing Lace stitch pattern while shaping, and definitions for relevant abbreviations.
