GAUGE

Lace panel: 16 sts x 14 rnds = 2.5 x 1.75” / 6.5 x 4.5 cm on US 5 / 3.75 mm needles, after blocking.
Note on the pattern: The Lucienne pattern plays with the structural look of raglan sweaters: the geometric lace panels draw attention to the raglan lines, while also giving this beautiful summer jumper a lighter touch. Lucienne is a pretty, elegant garment worked from the top down, with a slight boat-neck shape and a cropped body and sleeves. As most of the construction set-up is done outside of the lace, you can easily adapt the pattern to any desired length.
