Pattern Details:
The Elm Lace Pullover is a top-down V-neck sweater with refined lace details and smart shaping. Delicate set-in lace sleeves frame the shoulders, a softly ribbed empire waist defines the silhouette, and the lower half flows into a light, airy lace hem. The pattern includes 18 size inclusive sizes for chest measurements from 28” to 62”, each designed with 0–2” of positive ease—so selecting the size closest to your actual chest measurement ensures the intended, softly skimming fit.
