From Midori Hirose:

"Ranunculus is a top-down round yoke pullover with lace and textured stitches. I have designed yoke pattern to look like wearing layers of necklace. I have knitted short rows between neck ribbing and yoke pattern not only on back bit also on front, so that neckline has a bit boat neck shape and yoke pattern has necklace look. The round yoke has ample depth and finished pullover has cropped length so that you can lay it over dresses or high-waisted skirts and pants. If crops aren’t your style, please adjust body to your favorite length.

You can choose from smaller or wider neckline,
and short sleeves or long puff sleeves with/without diagonal cuff line.

You can use lace, light fingering to worsted weight yarn. The degree of transparency depends on the weight of yarn. Knitting with thin yarn on big needle gives light, transparent and airy texture to this pullover. Using thicker yarn or holding two yarns together adds more weight, and more structured look."

This is a very versatile pattern. You use a US 8 and US 10 needle, and can use any weight of yarn from lace to worsted. With long or short sleeve options.

400 - 940 yds no matter what the weight yarn. And a range of 11 sizes.
