Multiple Lace & Texture Details

The sweater combines several different stitch patterns for a layered, bohemian look:

• Seed stitch
• Scalloped lace
• Drop-stitch bands
• Leaf lace
• Circular seed stitch

The combination creates an airy summer fabric with plenty of visual texture while still maintaining a relaxed, wearable silhouette.

Unique Hybrid Construction

The back, front, and sleeves begin worked flat separately.

After the initial armhole shaping is complete, all four pieces are transferred to a circular needle and joined to create the raglan yoke.

The yoke is then worked in the round with raglan decreases until the wide neckline is reached.

The sleeve and side seams are sewn during finishing.

Customizable Fit

The pattern includes guidance for adjusting:

• Body length
• Sleeve length
• Neckline stretch
• Lace blocking

Because the sweater is designed in cotton, the pattern also includes specific blocking guidance to help prevent the lace from becoming overstretched.

Perfect for Spring & Summer

This lightweight lace pullover works beautifully for:

• Spring outfits
• Summer evenings
• Beach layering
• Vacation wardrobes
• Boho outfits
• Festival-inspired looks
• Layering over camisoles and tanks
• Handmade summer wardrobes
• Lightweight cotton sweaters

Choose a soft cream or natural cotton for a classic boho look, or use a bright summer shade for something more colorful.
