Knit.1 Summer 2006 #37
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick
SKU: K1SU06_37 (771)

“Bark if you like my purls.”
Mari Lynn Patrick sewed a string of costume pearls around the V neck of her swank pulloever with three-quarter-length sleeves. Full-fashioned shaping at the interior and armholes makes the curves, while “Lion Cashmere” ups the luxury factor.

Note: K1 selvage stitches are worked at beginning and end of every row. Do not figure into the measurements.

You will need a 50”/127cm long strand of costume pearls.
