The graceful elegance of lace never fails to thrill my heart, like the breath of the fresh breeze wrapping
you in beuaty. This love led to the creation of Cillia. It’s lovely lace yoke delights my obsession with
lace. I made the sample with Bare Naked Wools Kent DK, a wonderful wool blend that is lovely to work
with and blooms nicely. The wool is grown and spun entirely in the states.

Notes:
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down with a seamless lace-patterned yoke. Short-row back neck shaping is worked first then the lace pattern begins, with the increases distributed evenly around the yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the stitches for body and sleeves are divided. There is no body shaping past the armholes, but waist shaping may be easily added if desired. The sleeves and body can easily be lengthened by adding more rounds. The pullover is modeled with slight negative ease, but if you desire a looser fit, make a size that measures slightly larger than your bust.
