Lionheart Sweater is a simple top-down sweater with a large yoke covered in a variety of stitch patterns. Bobbles, Fair Isle and lace knitting are mixed together in a graceful way on this classical sweater. The pattern features inclusive sizing with 8 sizes ranging from 34” to 57” of bust circumference. It should be worn with a little bit of ease for a timeless and cozy result.

Note: recommended length will create a relatively short sweater, but with the top-down construction, it can be made as long as you want it to be, from a crop sweater to a long, cozy one. Make sure to have more yardage than indicated if you want your sweater to be longer.

Pattern includes a schematic and basic lace / colorwork charts.
