A subtle floral motif and other delicate details are the centerpiece of this lightweight sweater by Kristen TenDyke. Worked in laceweight Piper in the round from the top down, with three-quarter sleeves accented by lace at the raglan lines, Floret is an airy pullover that is also refreshingly simple to knit.
