Delicate lace motifs crown the yoke of this top-down pullover, flowing into columns of purl stitches that travel down the body and sleeves. The textured vertical lines add rhythm to the smooth stockinette background, creating visual interest while letting the yoke remain the focal point.

Voluminous sleeves taper gently into fitted cuffs, giving the sweater a soft, modern silhouette that balances ease with refinement. Worked seamlessly from the neckline down, the pullover offers straightforward construction with easy opportunities to adjust sleeve or body length.
