This kit now includes a PDF copy of the pattern

Water Lilies was inspired by traditional Estonian Lace but modernized to seamlessly fit into a tapering yoke. The design gives a gorgeous illusion to water lilies floating away on a stream - this imagery comes together fully with the rich green tones amidst the deep black background of the Harrisville Nightshades yarn. To complete the look the water lilies lace pattern is repeated on the cuffs and a thick comfy rib completes the hem. This cozy yarn and delicate lace pattern come together to create a gorgeous pullover that will easily become a staple in any wardrobe.
