Sarah - an eyelet lace raglan knitting pattern

Sarah is an elegant eyelet lace sweater, knit an extra fine merino and silk blend for next to skin wear. A hybrid of a raglan and circular yoke sweater, the unique construction is easy to customize for your perfect fit.

The Sarah Pullover is designed with a fold-over cuff on the body and sleeves, with a simple i-cord edging for the neckline. The eyelet rows that make up the design render the shaping invisible. A few short rows create space for your front neck . She is worked seamlessly in the round, from the bottom up.
