Originally published by Classic Elite Yarns in 1992, knit in Classic Elite Yarns Willough Silk/Cotton.

This pullover designed by Kristin Nicholas in 1992 – 25 years ago! – proves that good design transcends time and fashion trends. With a combination of classic eyelet stitches in perfect proportions, Kristin designed this sweater for warm weather in cotton/silk Willough. We’ve redone it in Provence, a silky mercerized cotton with excellent stitch definition. The fit of the sleeve is slightly slimmer in this new version, for a more modern silhouette, and we’ve added three additional sizes to ensure a fit just right for all.

Kristin Nicholas was creative director of Classic Elite yarns from 1984 to 2001. She is author of many wonderfully creative and colorful books. Check in on what Kristin is up to now on her website
