This is a pattern from my book, Lovely Lace Knits.

• A revamped version of this pattern is available for individual purchase, here.
• For the cardigan version, check out Amarelle Cardigan.

Worked in worsted weight yarn and made with a circular yoke and turtle neck, Amarelle is a classic staple for comfort and warmth. The intricate lace pattern forms an interesting design that is reminiscent of leaves and fruits and that is just as exquisite as the sour cherries it represents.

Construction
This sweater is worked in the round from the top-down, starting with a provisional cast on, followed by a small section of short-rows, and a lace circular yoke. Once the yoke is completed, the stitches from the sleeves are placed on hold and the body is worked, ending with a section of ribbing. The sleeve stitches are then put back on live needles and the sleeves are worked down to the wrist, ending with another ribbing section. The provisional cast-on is then undone and the cowl is worked in even more ribbing.
