Pizza Sweater knittingforolive_new

Pizza Sweater is a soft and chunky sweater featuring a simple and allover lace pattern that resembles little pizzas. It is worked on thicker needles from the top down in the round, with 1 strand of Heavy Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout.
You start with the ribbed neckband and continue with the raglan construction yoke to the underarms. Sleeve stitches are then placed on hold to be worked after the body has been completed. Ribbed edges finish the body and sleeves. The Pizza stitch pattern is charted only.

Tip: The sweater can be worn with the wrong side out too if the ends are woven in neatly.
