About this Pattern
Named after Sweet Georgia Yarn’s glorious “Deep Cove” colourway and worked in their beautiful Flaxen Silk, this playful pullover is the perfect transitional piece. Back and bust darts add some shape, allowing this pretty pullover to cling where it should and swing everywhere else. A peekaboo back lace panel adds a sweet detail to this otherwise simple sweater, and thoughtful details like the pretty picot cuff and hem and the simple I-cord neckline, elevate it from t-shirt into something else entirely.

Pattern Notes
This sweater is worked from the top-down and the upper body is shaped with raglan increases. Sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and the lower body is shaped with bust darts (optional), back darts, and A-line shaping; neckline is finished with an applied I-Cord. Cap sleeves are shaped with short-rows and finished with a picot bind-off. A simple leaf lace pattern adds visual interest to the back.
