Petrea is a sweet, scoop-neck cardigan with traveling vine lace panels. The flutter elbow sleeves draw attention to a narrow waist, further highlighted with the triangular lace insert on the back of the sweater. It is knit in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. The garter stitch button band and neckline are added after seaming.
