This pullover shines in luxurious Phoebe. It is a simple, seamless, top-down, round-yoke construction, but Ainur’s nod to the crisscrossing roof style after which the pattern is named—using a combination of slipped and dropped stitches—gives it interest in the knitting, and versatility and beauty in the wearing. It’s so pretty shown here in fiery Mars, but we think it would be stunning in Jupiter, Neptune, Earth, or Venus. You may be delighted to know that the designer has also given instructions for a short-sleeved version of the sweater.

Shown in size 36” / 91.5 cm on a 34” / 86.5 cm, 5’7” / 170 cm tall model with 2” / 5 cm positive ease. This pattern is #sizeinclusive. Finished measurements will fit bust circumferences up to at least 60” / 152.5 cm plus any intended ease.
