This pullover is a celebration of texture and geometry, worked in an allover lace and knit-purl motif that creates a richly sculpted fabric. Horizontal bands of chevrons, diamonds, and eyelets alternate to form a rhythm of patterning that feels both modern and timeless. The silhouette of this top-down pullover is relaxed yet refined, with a round yoke, straight body, and slightly tapered sleeves finished with deep ribbed cuffs. A simple ribbed hem and neckline provide clean framing that balances the ornate fabric. **Sizes** XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL), {3XL, 4XL, 5XL, 6XL}: to fit bust 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50), {52-54, 56-58, 60-62, 64-66)”/70-75 (80-85, 90-95, 100-105, 110-115, 120-125), {130-135, 140-145, 150-155, 160-165} cm. **Finished Measurements** 37 (40, 46.25, 49.25, 52.5, 58.5), {61.5, 64.52, 67.75, 70.75}”/ 92.5 (100, 115.5, 123, 131.5, 146.5), {154, 161.5, 169.5, 177} cm bust circumference.
