This lightweight pullover is a sweet, elegant treasure that will carry you between seasons. The yoke pattern is simple but mesmerizing, making it a wonderful first sweater pattern and a wardrobe staple. I named it after seablush, a plant that produces wonderful little pink puffballs of flowers. It’s native to Vancouver Island and was one of the first plants I ever grew in my garden.

Both written and charted instructions are included for the textured lace pattern.
