This beautiful sweater is a great addition to your work or dress-up wardrobe, but why not wear it with jeans as well. The bows are optional, and the sweater is lovely with or without them. Or leave the ribbon out altogether – the eyelets make a lovely trim at the cuffs and neck. There are instructions for shortening or lengthening the waist to better fit your shape.

This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.

The openwork pattern is presented in written format.
