Rockweed Pullover

€12.50

Rockweed Pullover is a sweater version of its namesake cardigan with an ornate pattern featuring sharp double decreases that create undulating waves of lace. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with fingering weight as the main yarn. But this time the garment is knit in the round with lace sections on the round yoke and hem done in lace-weight silk mohair for an extra delicate look.

Neckband, sleeve cuffs, and hem are done in ribbing whereas sections of stockinette separate the lace tiers on the yoke. An alternative variation is offered in which all these are replaced with garter stitch in the round. This variation gives crisp transitions between stockinette and lace, especially if knitting the garment in one color.

Rockweed Pullover comes in 10 sizes from XS to 6X. The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the lace pattern.
