A Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert, filled with whipped cream and topped with fruit. Crisp on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside, it’s a true mouthful of texture and a very sweet and special treat. This is how I feel about this sweater - decadent, sweet, fluffy, and full of texture (although I would not recommend eating your sweater). The Pavlova Pullover is an oversized top-down raglan worked with a textural slip stitch pattern, using two contrasting colors.

YARN
The Pavlova Pullover was designed in collaboration with Qing Fibre, using Melted Baby Suri (65% Baby Suri Alpaca, 20% Merino, 15% Silk; 191 yds/175 m per 50 g skein).
