Worked in a luxuriously soft organic wool, this boat neck pullover features a combination of double crochet and single crochet rows to achieve a smooth, supple fabric. The bodice is crocheted from underarm to underarm and the lace yoke is worked as you go. The sleeves are crocheted right onto the body from the shoulder down and the lace pattern is repeated along the top of the sleeve. Two simple seams are your only finishing in this beginner-friendly sweater.
