Tuscan Sweater

90.00 NOK

The Tuscan sweater features a relaxed fit and intricate lace yoke design. Its name comes from the combination of colors that I knit the sample in, which when hit with sunlight are reminiscent of the colors of a Tuscan sunset.

Fits bust sizes 70 - 155 cm (27 - 61 in)

Pattern Details

The front and back ribbing of the sweater are knit separately and then joined to knit the body in the round. Sleeves are knit in the round and joined to the body to knit the yoke. Optional short rows are knit before the yoke to raise the back of the sweater.
