DETAILS
The Kate Pullover is a delicate and easy-to-wear pullover with a beautiful lace pattern along the neckline. The pullover is designed a bit boxy and cropped and fits beautifully in all the 6 sizes. The pullover is knitted in one strand of Blue Sky-Woolstok worsted held together with one strand of Malabrigo kid silk mohair, which gives it a light and soft touch.
Measurements are included in the pattern, which makes it easy to adjust to your preferred length.
The pullover is worked in the round, from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The body and the sleeves are joined at the armholes and worked in the round at the raglan up to the front neck, where short rows shape the neckline. The neck, cuffs, and hem are worked in twisted ribbing.
(The Kate Pullover has a smaller lace pattern than the Martha Pullover)
