Designed by Claudia Q

I originally designed this pullover for an adult but couldn’t help but imagine how cute the frilly cuffs would look on a child. Lanita can be knit in soft pastels or bold colours for a very different yet equally lovely result.

The Lana Pullover is the adult version of this pattern

The sweater is worked from the top down with circular yoke and raglan shaping. A small section of short rows is worked at the back of the neck and above bottom hem for improved fit. The yoke is decorated with an eyelet pattern. The slightly shorter sleeves start at the cuff with the same scallop edging as the body. They also have a small section of short rows on their lower half to create a sculpted silhouette. Finally, the sleeves are grafted
onto the body.
