The one-piece Begonia Pullover begins at the bottom with a leaf lace pattern that’s worked around the body and shifts to a broken-rib-stitch pattern that fl ows up through the ballet neck. There is no waist shaping, and the long sleeves and body are joined for raglan-shoulder shaping in the heavenly baby alpaca-silk yarn.

  • The body of this pullover is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarm. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, then the sleeves and body are joined to work the raglan shaping.
