This oversized and comfy pullover is the perfect relaxing knit. The lace panels
have a botanical touch to them and are an eye catching element which makes
this project more subtle and interesting. V-neck matches the leafy motives
perfectly. It’s a really nice pullover for spring weather or for layering in the
colder days.

FINISHING
Weave in all ends. Block your sweater
gently - soak it in lukewarm water with
your favorite wool wash or some hair
conditioner for 15 minutes. Then squeeze
out the excess moisture with a towel.
Lay flat to dry in the desired shape!
This top is intented to be worn with about 15-20 cm/ 6-8 inches of positive ease.
If you fall between two sizes and are going for the look in my pictures, pick the smaller size. |9
The upper arm circumference can be also helpful to pick your size (there is a small difference
between the sizes and some of them have simillar sleeve, because of the number of sts from the
lace panel).
