Lucky Lavender

Lucky Lavender is a playful and joyous sweater combining simple yet elegant lace with a fun clover colorwork pattern. The sweater is worked seamlessly top-down and features a round yoke and long sleeves. The back of the neck is shaped taller using German short rows and the yoke increases are hidden among the lace pattern. Once you finish the yoke you will follow the clover pattern throughout the sweater. And since we’re talking clovers, there’s an extra colorwork chart for you to add one random lucky clover hiding in plain sight. **. : Size : .** XXS-XS-S-M [L1-L2-XL] 2XL-3XL-4XL-5XL This sweater is meant to be worn with positive ease.
