This Pullover is focused on colour: A gradual progression of different hues is achieved by exchanging only one of the two strands of lace yarn that are held together in each stripe.
The design is kept minimal with a modified dropped shoulder - to avoid the bulky underarms that sometimes happen with this construction - textured stripes and delicate, almost transparent balloon sleeves that grow out of a short-row cap section for added structure and worked with only one strand of lace yarn. A few eyelets at the start and end of the sleeves give a hint of romance.
This light, comfy pullover features diagonal shaping lines at the sides that reach from the underarm to the hem. Together with the hidden decreases just above the hem at the back, they produce an elegant blouse shape of the boxy body.
In this pattern you can find extensive information and tips on how to modify the yoke, the body or sleeves - and how to proceed if you want to adjust the instructions without changing the overall style of the garment.
There are extensive tips and notes marked in blue boxes in each section that explain how to work any adaptions of the pattern for width and length, to adjust according to ones gauge, anatomy and personal preference.
A big Grazie to Michela LaMicky for translating this pattern into Italian!
Et un grand merci à Patricia patamodeler pour la traduction en Français!
