The Isadora Sweater is a showstopper with delicate and distinguished bishop sleeves. The lace is a six stitch repeat that makes for easy knitting while still creating a memorable finished sweater. It is knit as a top down raglan and in-the-round with seamless construction. The suggested positive ease is 2-6 inches (5-15 cm).
