WORKFLOW
Fleur is worked bottom-up in the round until the underarm. The body features floral lace with optional beads. The front and the back are then worked separately in stockinette, flat, and grafted together at the shoulder seams. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the armholes and shaped with short rows. Edges are finished with an i-cord.
You can choose a cropped or a full-length body.
