THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY! The Foxberry pullover got its name from the shape of the lace pattern, which I think looks like little fox faces stacked on one another and the small bobbles remind me of berries. The Foxberry pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The back is shaped with short-rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit. The lace pattern is both charted and written.
