The addition of a lace centre panel to this classic sweater adds softness and interest to a classic boxy shape for a feminine twist. Drop shoulders continue the soft boxy feel with shaping on sleeve tops to create the garment structure. A wide neck is given structure by adding a two by two ribbed neckband, worked after pieces are seamed and the sweater is almost complete.
