Square-Bodice Pullover Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Worked in an allover lace pattern that gives way to stockinette stitch at the bodice, this romantic pullover seems to simultaneously betoken fashions of the past and salute the current look. The lace pattern repeats over just six rows and is easy to memorize. The plunging square neckline is finished with a delicate crochet edging.
