Holiday parties call for festive, luxurious sweaters, and Hampden’s luscious fiber blend is a perfect choice for this one. Valley Yarns Snapdragon is a stunning women’s lace pullover featuring an allover lace pattern, a ballerina neckline, dropped shoulders, and set-in sleeves. Snapdragon is a festive and cozy cropped pullover that is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked down to the cuffs. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
