Archive of Thread: Trying to design a summer sweater Back

2 years ago
Trying to figure out how I want to design a summer sweater. I was thinking of doing a short sleeve, sideways-knit top with a bit of lace at the top.

I bought a Needle Beetle for my LK 150 and was having fun playing around with it. The lace pattern is from the Jones 8-stitch pattern book #471. Only requires hand manipulation on 3 rows.

It's a very easy pattern to hand manipulate since you only do transfers on rows 1, 3 & 5. Have fun 😊
