The delicate leaf-lace stitch pattern makes this a perfect lightweight sweater for the transitional months. Waist shaping is worked in stockinette stitch on the sweater’s sides producing a flatting contour. Autumn’s End is worked from the bottom up in the round and is included in the Botanical Knits collection.
