Keyhole Top Knitting Pattern Download

Description

An exaggerated keyhole neckline gives drama to this otherwise simple, bell-sleeved pullover. The designer used a misty faded pink for the main color and added rings of rosy stripes around the borders of the body and the three-quarter length sleeves. A simple eyelet stitch pattern adds a subtle peek-a-boo texture to the fabric. The fuzzy lightness of the kid mohair and the ice cream colors remind Meema of a frothy parfait dessert-delicious!
