Worked bottom-up in a luscious merino and silk blend yarn with a seamless, circular yoke, Starshine features textural stitches on the body, Starlight Lace in the yoke, and ruffles of a contrasting color at the collar and cuffs.

Starshine is an unabashedly fun and fancy sweater, yet it is easy to work (all in the round) and comfortable to wear (choose a size with a little positive ease and let the merino-lace yarn drape and do all the work). Tiny Knots provide a lovely texture on the body and sleeves.

Features

  • Seamless bottom-up construction with a round yoke
  • Tiny Knots and Starlight Lace patterns are provided in both written and charted formats
  • Ruffles!
