~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oxalis is a raglan pullover knit from the top down with a bit of positive ease. Beginning with a cozy turtleneck, the sweater continues seamlessly with a delicate cable and lace pattern along the sleeves and a cable detail along each side of the body. Although the pattern is written for a slightly cropped body, Oxalis can easily be lengthened. Instructions, with video support, are given for beginning the pullover using a tubular cast-on or using an alternate 1x1 long-tail cast-on.

The lace and cable pattern is both written and charted.
