PERLENPULLI (“Sweater with Pearls” in German) got its name from the intricate lace pattern on the sleeves and shoulders reminding me of tiny strings of pearls. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, the body in simple stockinette and contrasting beautiful lace and bobbles pattern on the sleeves and shoulders.

The picture shows size 2 with 12.5 cm/5” of positive ease.
