Lotti is a playful spring sweater, knit up in a light cotton-wool blend. With a leafy yoke and some fun little details on the sleeves, it´s the perfect piece for transitioning into the warmer seasons.

PATTERN NOTES:

The garment is worked in the round from the top down, with a decorative motif on the yoke. Short rows are used to raise the back and improve the fit at the neckline. Yoke shaping is integrated within the pattern. Once this is complete, body and sleeves are separated, and finished in the round.

The pattern also provides some helpful tips and suggestions on how you can adjust it to suit your own preferences.

I recommend choosing a size with 7.5 cm/3” - 20 cm/8” positive ease to get a comfortable fit. Samples are shown in size 3, worn with approx. 16 cm/6½“ positive ease on a 92 cm/36¾” chest.
