Inspired by the beautiful stitches found in my Japanese stitch dictionary, this is a variation on one of my favorites. The original was lacy with bobbles, and I updated for a simpler stitch pattern that creates a great overall fabric. Intended to be worn with positive ease in the bust and fitted sleeves, this boxy pullover is effortlessly worn with jeans for fall and winter.
