High Falls Pullover is a relaxed drop shoulder sweater featuring simple rows of lace stripes. The motif is very beginner friendly and keeps the project interesting to work on the whole way through. This pattern is gender-neutral and graded to two fit types with ten sizes each. Worked top-down, it’s also easy to modify the body and sleeve lengths to get your preferred fit.
While this pullover is a versatile wardrobe piece, I initially envisioned it as the perfect coverup to wear swimming. I tend to get a bit cold after a dip and love having something cozy to wrap up in afterwards! It is named High Falls after a gorgeous waterfall local to me that has a perfect swimming spot at the base.
