This vintage inspired pullover is designed to perfectly flatter any shape or size while being comfortable and stylish. Cropped pullovers are the perfect accompaniment to high waisted skirts and pants as well as waisted dresses and peplums top, they are essential in my wardrobe and I hope they will become so in yours as well. The all over lace pattern ensures that this pullover is the perfect transitional wardrobe piece, not too hot and not too cold. This lace pattern is the perfect balance between enough stockinette rows to stop it from going too slowly but enough lace to keep it interesting. Knit from the bottom up, the sleeves are joined with the body under the arms and then shaped with raglan shaping.

Lace pattern is both charted and written.

Schematics are include.

We recommend choosing a size with 2+ inches of negative ease
