Laurel Leaf Pullover Pattern Download
Ainur Berkimbayeva's Laurel Leaf Pullover borrows an ancient Greek victory crown and sweeps it around the shoulders, mesmerizing and triumphant! A simple matter of quick two-stitch cables (aka crosses) against a backdrop of 1x1 ribbing, both charted and written instructions show you the way. Knit from the top down, you start with the action-packed yoke, then settle into simple ribbing for the body and sleeves, ending with perfectly neat edges built right in. Knit up in our luminescent Mulberry Merino, 80% extra fine merino wool and 20% mulberry silk, this tidy yarn allows every thoughtful detail to shine! Click Product Details, above, for more info.
