Tudor Windows Pullover
This beautifully designed knitting pattern features a stunning cable inspired by the diamond-shaped mullioned windows found in Tudor-era palaces, such as Hampton Court and Greenwich. The round-neck, raglan-sleeved top serves as a perfect companion to the elegant Tudor Windows Cardigan. While the pattern showcases short sleeves, you will find detailed instructions included for creating any sleeve length to suit your personal style best.
Finished Size: This versatile garment fits a chest measurement of 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches, with a sleeve circumference of 12.75(13.75, 14.5, 16.25, 17, 17.75) inches. The length of the top varies from 14(14.5, 15, 16, 16.5, 17) inches, offering a comfortable fit for a variety of body types.

If you opt for long sleeves, you'll require 4(4, 4, 5, 6, 6) skeins. The sample shown in the pattern is made using the delightful "Yes, Dear" colorway, making it both a practical and visually stunning project.
