Calla Lily
Calla Lily is a feminine A-line pullover with flower patterns: Heart vine pattern on the sleeves and Baby’s breath lace on the sides of the body.
It is worked from the top down seamlessly. The body and sleeves are worked back and forth in a hybrid construction between saddle shoulder and raglan sleeves, while V-neck is shaped simultaneously until they are joined at the tip of the V.
Sleeves are set aside at the underarm and the body is knitted in one piece to the hem in an A-line silhouette.
Sleeves are worked then down in the round, in Calla lily shape. All edgings are finished neatly with I-cord.
This pattern is written in English, and has been professionally edited and test knitted.
