Helen

Introducing the stunning Helen design – a shapely, lacy V-neck pullover that will elevate your knitting game. This exquisite piece features our unique Hexagon Fern lace, an energetic 18-stitch by 16-row repeat that is beautifully worked throughout the garment. This intricate lace pattern not only adds visual interest but also echoes the elegant lines of the 1x1 rib trim and angled neckline, making it a standout addition to any wardrobe. The bodice is designed to be slim fitting, extending mid-hip in length, and follows the natural curves of your body for a flattering silhouette. The narrow sleeves finish just below the elbow with a stylish long short-sleeve cut that feels ample and comfortable. Knit flat from the bottom up, the pieces can be seamlessly joined with classic seaming techniques, ensuring a polished finish. This versatile design is perfect for any occasion – whether you’re dressing it up for a night out or layering it for a cozy day in, the Helen pullover is an all-occasion, year-round favorite that you will love to wear. Enjoy the process of creating this timeless piece that combines both classic elegance and contemporary style!
