Candlelight Pullover

This pullover features a delicate circular lace pattern yoke. Short row shaping is used to shape the neckline while working lace and the back neck has a lovely button detail. There is no waist shaping in the pattern, however some waist shaping can be easily added. Sleeves are shaped with decreases. The length of the sweater can be modified since the pullover is worked from the top down.
