Hand Knitting Pattern: Pullover sweater

Yarn weight: Bulky (7 wpi)
Suggested yarn: Cricket Cove Hand-spun Angora, Estelle Yarns Alpaca Merino Chunky

Romantic and soft in white hand-spun angora…..this deep V-neck sweater has easy lace panels that travel up the front, over the shoulders and down the back.
This sweater is knit all one piece, including the sleeves.
The yarn I chose is a 100% angora from Cricket Cove; however if the luxury of angora is beyond your pocketbook, it would be equally stunning worked in a chunky weight alpaca or another soft spun yarn.

Rated: intermediate; knit/purl, inc/dec, lace pattern, keep continuity of pattern, pick up sts, work in round for neckband only, seaming
Sizes available: S (M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL)
This is a close fitting garment, choose a size closest to your actual bust measurement, 0-5cm / 0-2 in ease.
