The easiest sweater you will ever make! Designed by Stefanie Japel for Stitch Diva Studios.

With just advanced beginning skills, create a short-sleeve or long-sleeve garment that looks extravagant and fits your curves perfectly! Worked from the top down in one piece, this sumptuous design requires minimal finishing and features a super-simple lace accent that will make you look like a pro knitter even if this is your first sweater. To ensure a perfect fit, the pattern details a try-as-you-go construction approach and provides simple shaping techniques. The pattern employs an accent yarn that has been pre-strung with sequins and beads -- just to prove that if you choose the right yarn, it will do most of the work for you!

Wear with a cami underneath or dare to wear nothing underneath at all. Whichever way you wear it, you will be a smart and stylish damsel who used her low-impact efforts to create a super high-impact, spectacular result!

Skill level is intermediate. Finished size directions are for sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X); Finished size to fit bust = 28-30" (32-34", 36-38", 40-42", 44-46", 48-50", 52-54").

The pattern can be created with any Worsted Weight Yarn. Substitute yarn gauge is 20 sts/24 rows = 4" with larger needles and 28 sts/32 rows = 4" with smaller needles.

You will also need 6 Stitch Markers, 2 Long Stitch Holders or scrap yarn, and a Tapestry Needle.
