Gilded

Please note that this listing is for a PDF knitting pattern and not the finished sweater. Gilded is reminiscent of an age of epicurean opulence, giving the illusion of heavy ornamentation and dripping jewels. Its beauty belies its intrinsic comfort. True to twenty-first century standards, Gilded is just as at home over jeans or a dress as joggers. Concomitantly, it possesses a strong 70s vibe with the colorful yoke and roomy sleeves. Pattern Notes Gilded is a three color, top-down, round yoke pullover with generous ease worked in sport weight yarn. The bishop sleeves are so easy to work with all the decreases in just one round!
