Esther - sweater with lace motifs

“Esther” is a waisted sweater with lace elements on front part, back part and sleeves - it’s easy to knit if you are familiar with knitting lace patterns.

The sweater ist worked from bottom up in single pieces and sewn together afterwards. For the sweater shown on the photos I used the wonderful pure silk yarn “Mora” from malabrigo. So it’s the perfect piece for spring and summer. But it will look lovely in fine merino or alpaca yarns as well.
