Dandelion
Hi All,
I hope you, your family and friends are well and safe.
This is just a quick message to let you know that a yoke stitch count was added to the pattern, on the charts page on May 28, 2020.
I hope this project brings you pleasant knitting moments and joy while wearing it! Your purchase is much appreciated!
We hope you enjoy Dandelion and have a good knitting time! Thank you for supporting independent designers and dyers!
Introduction
Dandelion is a rounded / circular yoke pullover with, what I like to call, a “petite boxy” shape, where the body
has a certain amount of positive ease (not as much as a traditional boxy top). I must say that this “petite boxy” is
one of my very favorite styles, because it dresses beautifully in any body type! The textured stitch motif at yoke
and sleeves is inspired by Brazilian basketry, one of the crafts that I admire from my country.
