How to knit the Lace Stripe Sweater:
Sizes: US 6–8 (10–12), UK 10–12 (14–16), EU 36–38 (42–44)

Lace Pattern (over 13 stitches):
Work according to the chart, which shows right-side rows only.

For the borders, work Rows 1–10 three times, then repeat Rows 11–22 throughout.
For the neckline, work Rows 1–10 in the round.
For this, on the wrong-side rounds work stitches as they appear and purl the yarn overs.
