The Cloisters

About this time of year, when leaves (and temperatures) are falling, I begin to day-dream of hot chocolate and tweed. The Cloisters Pullover pairs the subtle tweedy texture of the Fibre Co's Arranmore Light (DK weight/size 3) with feminine lace insets in this top-down seamless pullover.

Arranmore Light (DK weight) from the Fibre Co was chosen both for it's subtle tweediness and it's soft drape. The sweater is worked in an asymmetric rib pattern which flows into a lacey finish at sleeve cuffs and below the waist on the body of the sweater. The same lace detail is picked up on the folded neck banding. Although you may also wish to work up a swatch of the lace, be sure to use the gauge you get for your blocked ribbing swatch for the lace also, so that the ribbing flows into the lace.
