Wychwood

€12.50

Wychwood is a cozy pullover that blends simple stockinette with a touch of lace. This asymmetric compound raglan sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in aran- or bulky-weight yarn, making it delightfully quick to knit.

A twin-leaf lace panel cascades down the front, beginning at the neckline and flowing seamlessly into twisted ribbing on the hem. Otherwise the sweater is done in stockinette, allowing the lace to take center stage. Long sleeves are tapered to the wrists, then finished in matching twisted ribbing for a cohesive look.

Asymmetric compound raglan construction allows for a fine-tuned fit that follows the body's natural curves. Thoughtful lower-body shaping — including vertical bust darts and waist shaping — ensures you can customize the garment to your liking. For a more relaxed silhouette the body can also be knit straight, omitting all shaping.

Wychwood comes in 10 sizes from XS to 6X. The pattern provides both charted and written instructions for the lace, and includes measurements in metric and US units.
