FLEURINE is made with the softest blend of wool, silk and alpaca yarn called “LIMA” by LAMANA in color Cherry Blossom which made me choose the flower-inspired name for this pattern.

FLEURINE is a top-down sweater with a scalloped neckline and an intricate pattern on the circular yoke, while the body and sleeves are made in simple stockinette. There are two options for yoke depth for you to choose from (please refer to measurement table).

The range of ease across sizes is 10-11 cm/4-4.5”.

The picture shows size 3 with 10 cm/4” of positive ease.
