YAGMUR is a beautiful Turkish name meaning “rain”. The lace pattern on the circular yoke reminds me of warm summer rain falling on the flowers, and I thought it would be a perfect name for my new pattern.

It is a seamless top-down sweater with a lace pattern on the yoke while the rest is made in simple stockinette.

The range of ease across all the sizes is 8 cm /3.25”. The picture shows size 3 with 8 cm/3.25” of positive ease.
