Fan Pattern Sweater – 1990s Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download
Sizes: 34″, 38″, 43″ Bust
Lace fans have a soft, feminine drape that’s hard to resist, and this 1990s vintage knitting pattern uses them beautifully across the body of an easy pullover. Delicate fan lace panels — worked with paired yarn-overs and decreases — sit between garter-stitch stripe rows knit in a soft knitting ribbon, giving this fan pattern sweater a textured, slightly romantic finish. It’s a lovely retro knit for anyone drawn to lace sweater patterns with a relaxed, drop-shoulder silhouette.
