The Design

"A pretty addition to any wardrobe."

This sweet, short-sleeved pullover is well-suited to its name—Fleur! The A-line shaping gives it a flower-like shape, and the use of a mohair blend makes sure the fabric is petal soft. With neat and tidy edgings at the collar, cuffs, and hem, Fleur is a very pretty addition to any wardrobe.

Fleur was designed by Shellie Anderson in collaboration with Shibui Knits, using DK-weight Vine and lace-weight Silk Cloud held together.

This eight-page pattern includes:

• Lovely full-color photography
• A clear design/sizing schematic
• Brief guidelines for:
• Crochet Provisional Cast-On
• Binding Off in the Center of a Row
• German Short Rows
• M1 Stitch
• 3-Needle Bind-Off
