Tin Can Knits Love Note is a fabulous little
sweater that knits up quickly from the top down. The neckline ribbing is
completed last to allow easy fit adjustment. The combination of mohair lace and
single-ply merino creates a fabric that is floaty, soft, and sensual. This knitting
pattern has a high-low hemline and two length options; what’s not to love? The
lace pattern is charted and written out.
