Yésica Lightweight Sweater by Paula Pereira

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

The Yésica Lightweight Pullover is knitted in stockinette stitch with delicate slip-stitch details at the border ribbings to show off the beautiful texture of Milo, a linen-merino yarn. It’s a top-down circular yoke pullover, where the increases create vertical lines that mimic large pleats. The unfitted sleeves gather at the wrist for a subtle balloon shape.
