“Brisa al atardecer” means “breeze at sunset” in Spanish — the seed of this design was the feeling of a light wind around you. The delicate pullover is worked in an all-over star lace stitch pattern, and it has a slightly boxy and cropped fit. The sweater is worked from the top down with two yarns held together. The V-neck is shaped with increases and an i-cord edging is applied at the same time. This comfortable and versatile design will also make a great vest or short-sleeved sweater.
