Menuet is a baroque-inspired sweater. Its square neckline and lace panel recall the details of women's dresses of the time.

 This is a top-down, seamless pattern. The square neckline is finished beautifully with crochet. The pattern includes 2 sleeve options: puff sleeves and straight sleeves. It is shown here with the puff sleeves.
 The presentation pattern is knitted with a "fingering" weight yarn doubled with a silk and mohair lace yarn. This combination of yarns can be substituted with a DK weight yarn.
