Get juicy and colourful this autumn season!! Açaí is lacey raglan pullover with shaping to emphasize the figure and an easy to remember pattern throughout that makes this pattern a breeze to knit.

Worked in the round up to the armholes where the body joins the sleeves, the yoke is worked in rows and a button placket is added for a playful touch. Find the most fun buttons to decorate your sweater with and add a spring in your step!
