Foxberry
The Foxberry pullover got its name from the shape of the lace pattern, which I think looks like little fox faces stacked on one another and the small bobbles remind me of berries.
The Foxberry pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The back is shaped with short-rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit.
The lace pattern is both charted and written.

Yarn
Note: The pullover uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.
