Sotherton is inspired by the iron gates sprinkled, frustratingly, throughout the grounds at Mr. Rushworth's estate of Sotherton. While they proved no match for Miss Bertram's determination to trespass. with Mr. Crawford's assistance. the Gothic Lattice pattern prettily constrains a knitter's curves. Worked in the round from the bottom up, the purl ground between left and right twists is the perfect place to tuck away decreases for some elegant waist shaping. The fit is close and elegant with the twist-stitch lines lengthening the wearer.
