The Dainty Bones pullover features a gorgeous gothic colorwork design and bishop sleeves, in a light but warm fabric, using stitches that make it look knit. Fair warning though, it uses tiny yarn and tiny hook, so it won’t exactly be a quick make, but I promise the torture will be worth it! ;)

This pattern is written in US terms, using metric and imperial measurement systems. It’s worked top down with a round yoke, splitting it to work the body and sleeves contiguously.

This is an intermediate difficulty pattern. The yoke uses Fair Isle colorwork technique, and the rest includes ribbing, different placement of stitches, linked stitches, as well as shaping with decreases and increases.

As always, this pattern is size inclusive, going from size XS to 5X. Sizes in pattern are color coded, and they have the following finished bust measurements:

 *XS*: 81cm/32in
 *S*: 92cm/36.25in
 *M*: 102cm/40in
 *L*: 113cm/44.5in
 *XL*: 120cm/47.25in
 *2X*: 132cm/52in
 *3X*: 140cm/55in 
 *4X*: 153cm/60.25in
 *5X*: 165cm/65in

You will find more measurements info in the schematic included in the pattern notes. You’ll be able to use it to choose not only your size, but how you want it to fit. It’s designed to have 5-10cm/2-4in of positive ease if you go for the size you usually wear. If you want it to fit snug around the body and biceps, go for the size that is closest to your measurements, or 2.5-5cm/1-2in smaller.

You will receive two files, one containing the pattern notes, stitch glossary, materials, schematic, written pattern and colorwork chart, and one with addendums, containing photo tutorials for the special stitches and for certain parts that might be tricky.
