ABOUT
This Lily Pullover is a stunning sweater, featuring a shimmering yarn and two strands of fluffy mohair. This project is knit from the top down, beginning with a folded collar for a clean, structured neckline. Short rows and raglan increases shape the yoke, and then the body and sleeves are knit in the round. To finish, chunky 2x1 ribbing is worked on the sleeves and on a split hem for the body. The flattering silhouette and soft fabric makes this the perfect project for the spring season!
