Julie’s cozy Nurtured yarn was so inspiring and I absolutely loved watching it transform from skein to this pullover. The full “body” of this yarn lends itself beautifully to not only the lace front of this sweater, but also showcases the textured hem, cuffs, cowl and back detail.

Pattern includes charted directions only for the lacework front.
