Foolish is an oversized, top down raglan sweater with a sweet lace panel down the back. Worked in buttery soft DK weight yarn from Loved Ones Yarn, it is sure to become your favorite lounge attire. There are options in the pattern for full length or cropped, traditional or split hem, and long or short sleeved!

I have implemented a Pay What Works model for all of my patterns. The full price reflects how much work goes into each of my patterns. All of my patterns are tech edited and test knit. I know not everyone can afford to pay full price, so I have created 3 coupon codes to help:

KnitLL15 - 15% off KnitLL30 - 30% off KnitLL50 - 50% off

I hope that those of you who can afford to pay full price will, but if you can’t please use the code that works best for you. If you are interested in sponsoring patterns for other knitters, please send me a message!
