Enjoy 20% off the pattern with the code VINEYARD through August 20, your local time zone.

Vineyard Sweater is inspired by peaceful days among vineyard rows, where warm sunshine, quiet landscapes, and traditional crafts invite you to slow down and enjoy the process.

This circular yoke sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in a simple, easy-to-memorize lace pattern. The neckline is shaped with short rows so that the front sits lower than the back. It is designed to be worn with comfortable, relaxed ease.

Vineyard Sweater is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
