Lotus Lake pullover is worked seamlessly from top down starting from the back panel. Back and front are worked flat until the underarm and then joined in the round. Underarm shaping is added to ensure a good fit and to reduce excess fabric under the arms. This pullover has full length sleeves and a beautiful lace detail on the hem and cuffs. The pattern includes a chart as well as written instructions for the lace details.

With its classic round neckline, dropped shoulders, and gentle shaping at the underarm, this design flatters a wide range of body types and brings timeless charm to any wardrobe. Written for 12 sizes, the pattern offers a finished bust range of 84–167.5 cm / 33–66.5 inches, with a recommended positive ease of 7.5–12.5 cm / 3–5 inches—perfect for layering or wearing on its own.
