Leeni Hoimela - Blanc de blancs Pattern English

The highlight of the Blanc de Blancs sweater is its stunning lace hem and cuffs that instantly catch the eye. Despite its beauty, the sweater is surprisingly easy and quick to knit. It starts at the neckline, which rolls up for a modern look—no tricky cast-on required! The yoke increases are evenly distributed, making it practically knit itself. The hem and sleeves end in a gorgeous lace pattern that is truly addictive to knit - just place stitch markers between the repeats to stay on track. The cuffs roll up just like the neckline, and the hem is finished with a tubular bind-off so you can easily tuck it into your pants. The sweater is intentionally cropped, but you can lengthen it to your preference.
