Don't be fooled by the specified small needle size - this one-piece garment in soft alpaca is simple and quick to knit! The lacy look is made by working a simple dropped-stitch pattern. After the appropriate stitches have been dropped, the stitch gauge is close to that of a worsted-weight yarn. The piece is worked horizontally from the right cuff across to the left. A bit of single crochet seams the sides and finishes off the neck and sleeve edges.
Finished Size: 36 (40, 44, 48)" (91.5 [101.5, 112, 122] cm) bust circumference. Sweater shown measures 36" (91.5 cm).

Gauge: 22 1/2 sts and 30 rows = 4" (10 cm) in patt before dropping sts; 19 sts and 30 rows = 4" (10 cm) in patt after dropping sts.
