Lotus Sweater Pattern
price: $10.00
The Lotus Sweater is a timeless boat neck construction featuring a high-low hem that accentuates the waistline in the front while offering more coverage in the back—the perfect fit for leggings or Bermuda shorts. The statement front panel features an intarsia column of colorful “Lotus Stitches” flanked by two bands of “Wheat Stitches” that offer texture and interest to this otherwise classic, coastal silhouette. The hems and upper armhole shaping are knit flat, while the Body and Sleeves are knit in the round. Light, airy and breathable, this pullover is the perfect companion for evening walks on the beach and outdoor dining in a light summer breeze.
