PATTERN INFO
Magnolia Petal Tee is a seamless drop-shoulder pullover, worked top down in a striking lace pattern. The length of the sweater is easy to customize: you can make the body longer or shorter by working more or fewer pattern repeats. The pattern has 3 sleeve length options: sleeveless, short sleeves and long sleeves, and two finishing options: twisted rib and garter edge. The lace pattern is presented in both chart and written format.

Due to the large size of the lace pattern repeat, a limited number of sizes would be possible if the same gauge was used for all sizes. To add more sizes, I have designed 2 versions of the sweater: Version A (Sizes 1A-5A) and Version B (Sizes 1B-5B). The difference between them is the gauge used: Version A uses a slightly tighter gauge than Version B - this way the pattern is available in 10 sizes.

Please select your size, then follow the correct version.
