Interweave SKU: EP1156

Pattern description from Interweave Knits:
An exaggerated keyhole neckline gives drama to this otherwise simple, bell-sleeved pullover. Meema Spadola used a misty faded pink for the main color and added rings of rosy stripes around the borders of the body and the three-quarter length sleeves. A simple eyelet stitch pattern adds a subtle peek-a-boo texture to the fabric. The fuzzy lightness of the kid mohair and the ice cream colors remind Meema of a frothy parfait dessert - delicious!

Notes from Interweave Knits:

• “Make all eyelet yarnovers at least 3 stitches away from the edges of each piece. If an eyelet would fall too close to an edge, omit it and its companion k2tog, and work the stitches in stockinette stitch instead. Similarly, if there are not enough stitches as the result of shaping to work a yarnover or k2tog with its companion k2tog or yarnover, work the stitches in stockinette in order to maintain consistent stitch count.”
• “Do not make eyelets within 6 stitches or 6 rows of the keyhole opening on front.”
