This lightweight pullover is a perfect spring transition piece (or early fall piece!). The pattern includes short and long sleeved options - as many in the testers group have made it short sleeve, I thought it would be useful to include this option for those who would like to make it a summer pattern.

The pattern uses same chart on the yoke as the Hat and Cowl released in 2019(seems like a different life now). So you could make a set!
The pattern is available in 10 sizes.

The sweater is worked top down in the round so you can try it on as you work on it to ensure a good fit. First short rows are worked to raise the back, then circular yoke colorwork and lastly some raglan shaping added. The sweater has a standard fit and a slightly a-line shaping for a flattering touch:)

YARN
For my sample, I used Purl Soho Linen Quill. Any yarn that works up to gauge will be a great substitute.
