This light pullover was inspired by my original design, the Elton Cardigan.
It features the simplest stripes, but I used two very different yarns: a fingering weight (which shows as solid bands) and a lace weight mohair (see through) creating a delicate game of texture. The resulting sweater is light as air.
The kit includes only the yarn. The pattern can be purchased HERE
