A perfect mid season pullover for children with a classic shape and some subtle details that keep it an engaging yet simple knit.

The Catkin Pullover is a round yoked pullover sweater with texture and lace yoke details. The body and sleeves are cropped with directions and yardage included for working them full length. The sleeves feature a slight bishop shaping at the cuff.

It’s worked in the round, top down, on circular needles. The sleeves are held on stitch holders while the body is worked separately, then the sleeves are picked back up and knit in the round individually.
The pattern includes charts for the lace yoke portion.

There is no short row shaping in this pattern, making this a great first circular yoke pattern!
