Introduction
Petaline is a delicate sweater with circular yoke where the stitch motif is an ensemble of cables and
lacy stitches. The style is what I like to call, a “petite boxy” shape, where the body has a certain amount of positive
ease (not as much as a traditional boxy top) with fitted sleeves. I must say that this “petite boxy” is one of my very
favorite styles, because it dresses beautifully in any body type! But Petaline has a little twist: a very subtle “A”
shape that adds even more drape to the fabric created by the amazing Lanivendole A Chic Blend! The pattern has
two sleeve length options: long or ¾. We hope you have a great knitting time and enjoy wearing your Petaline
sweater!
