From the Sweater Weather Collection, Wind Shift is a breezy, loose pullover with lace swirls that shift one way and then back again. The exaggerated sleeves with deep cuffs and an oversized collar can be folded over. The blend of linen and merino wool of Woolfolk Stra creates an airy fabric that is light and yet still warms.

GAUGE
25½ stitches and 30 rows for 4”/10 cm in lace stitch, after blocking

NOTES
The body and sleeves are worked separately, in the round, from the hem up to the armholes. After the three pieces are joined, the yoke continues in the round through the collar. The body ends on a different lace pattern round than the sleeves. When joined at the yoke, this creates a mirror effect at the raglan seams, merging the opposite patterns together. When the stitches are moving out from the raglan, they will pull out creating small gaps that mimic the yarn over stitches in the pattern.
