Lillet

$8.00

Lillet is a simple pullover that was so soothing and comfy that I had to make one more after I finished the first.

My initial knit was a sweatshirt-y pullover, with an everyday fit and a wide neckline. It’s long and slouchy, with a little shaping for a curved back hem.

The second is a more cropped, boxy shape - with a bit of lace at transition from body to hem. It’s more of a swingy little number that makes a fun statement.

Both feature a simple but lovely lace collar, raglan shaping, and seamless construction. Collar and neckline in both versions and lower back in the longer version are shaped with short rows.

Pattern contains instructions for working either version, and lots of notes on modifying length, width or adjusting either neckline or back shaping.
