Size: M/L (42½″ Bust)
Sunny and open, the Sun Diamond Pullover fills its whole body in a repeating eyelet diamond motif worked in a soft worsted weight cotton/acrylic blend. This vintage 1980s knitting pattern is cropped and boat-necked, with 2/3-length sleeves that make it an easy layer over a tank top or worn on its own on a warm afternoon. A great pick for knitters who love lace/openwork stitch work but want a project that moves quickly on worsted yarn and bigger needles.
