When I lived in Bulgaria, winters were tough. It would snow so heavily that the whole world would turn white. But snowdrops (the flowers that are the namesake of this design) were the first to peek through the snow and announce the arrival of Spring. So snowdrops signify hope and warmth to me, the perfect companion to get you through the cold of winter. Snowdrops is a compound raglan pullover constructed top-down, with short row shaping at the back of the neck for that perfect fit around shoulders and neck. It features a delicate but very easy to memorize lace pattern throughout. It is highly adjustable with the body and sleeve length easy to customize.
