Thistle Leaf Pullover
When stretched over your pretty curves, Thistle Leaf Lace truly shines. Simple stockinette sleeves and a delicate rollneck keep the focus on you and your fabulous shape (all without the challenge of waist-shaping in lace). This modern version of a classic Victorian lace is a perfect layering piece you’ll be thrilled to add to your wardrobe.
This pattern is part of a bundle of four inspired by The Unicorn Tapestries at The Cloisters in New York City. Thistle Leaf Pullover comes from the magnificent tapestry known as The Unicorn in Captivity, where the Unicorn lounges amidst mille-fleurs, including a single white thistle just in front of the right side of his fence.
Pattern is provided in both charted and written formats professionally formatted (by me!) to ensure you have everything you need to create your own beautiful Thistle Leaf Pullover.
