Like the silvery tails of starlight is the lace pattern radiating the yoke of Sterling. This pretty, asymmetrical rounded yoke pullover is perfect for all your dreamy adventures. It begins with a lovely lace pattern and ends with an interesting rib. Sterling is designed with a slight positive ease but would work well worth no ease or negative ease. To make it feel as dreamy as it looks I used Anzula Dreamy for the sample!

Notes:
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down with a seamless yoke. The increases are distributed evenly around the yoke; there is no division of stitches for body and sleeves until the yoke is complete. The lace pattern creates triangles of increasing lengths, placed asymmetrically around the yoke.
The sweater was designed with 2”/5 cm of positive ease, but you may prefer a looser or tighter pullover. Choose the finished bust size that will give the desired fit.
The neckline is wide due to the scalloped shaping of the lace pattern. For a smaller neck circumference, cast on fewer stitches (6 sts per 1”/2.5 cm), work in Garter stitch (purl 1 rnd, knit 1 rnd) for an odd number of rounds, then knit 1 more rnd, increasing evenly to bring the stitch count up to the number needed to begin the chart.
This pullover is designed without any back neck shaping. If you want the back higher than the front neck, Short Rows can be incorporated into the even rounds between Body Inc Rounds after the charts are completed.
The body is worked straight from armhole to hem. If you add waist shaping, remember that a multiple of 9 stitches is needed for the bottom band.
The cuff details may be worked around the body as well, just prior to the bottom ribbing. This will add 1”/2.5 cm to the length.
