Lisbon
Lisbon
Lisbon is a cropped spring/ summer pullover designed for people who enjoy the little things in life. It provides two different looks—a fancy Fleurette panel at the front and subtle sexiness with the deep backline, or a plunging neckline down at your beautiful chest with a peek of a tiled panel under your hairline.

Lisbon is knit from the top down. The front and back are worked flat separately, then joined at the bust and knitted in the round to hem. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuff. A faux seam is worked on the sides of the body and sleeves to give structure to the linen fabric and then the seams are closed using a mattress stitch at the end.
• Pattern is written with lace panel as front and deeper neck as back; however, pullover can be worn either way.
