I designed this pretty little top as a quick pullover to throw on and run out the door, whether you want to be dressy or casual. Raglan sleeves and a rounded neckline are flattering and the lace patterns are a breeze to work.

Worked top down, this is a great way to try on as you go to ensure a perfect fit!
Little cap sleeves are added at the end, they are easily lengthened if you want more coverage.

This linen blend yarn has a rustic charm and is perfect for the warmer months; find a color combo that suits you.

This is an intermediate pattern; you need to be able to increase and decrease, pick up stitches and work simple lace patterns.

Pattern Notes
* Pullover is worked from the top down; the sleeves are separated from the body once the yoke is finished. The body is worked to the hemline and sleeves are picked up and worked. Finally, the collar is picked up and worked last.
