Ulalaca pattern was designed for the 10th anniversary of Eylul yarns, a yarn store in Japan. Ulalaca mainly means “the sky is clear and the sun is shining softly and peacefully” in Japanese.

Ulalaca is a vest with two different length options - short or tunic in relaxed sizing. Knitting top down, begin from each front shoulder and form the V neck line of the collar with i-cord edge while knitting fisherman’s rib cables on the sleeve side, and join the left and right pieces. The back body is knitted in the same way, and the front and back bodies are connected. For short vests, knit ribs for specified length, finish with the stockinette stitch and curl. The sleeve openings are picked up from the armholes and work in the same way.
In the tunic length, the front and back body parts are connected and ribbed (fisherman’s rib), then divided again at the front and back and knitted for different hem lengths. The edges of the side slits are also picked up and knitted in the same way as the sleeve openings. The rib knitting (fisherman’s rib) used in this pattern is producing soft and bouncy texture, which is the unique feature of the design.

Ulalaca (うららか) は, トップダウンで編む2種類の丈を選択できるベストです. 前身頃の左右それぞれの肩から編み始め, 袖側にリブケーブルを編みながら襟のVラインも形成し, 左右を身頃の中央で接続します. 脇下まで編み進めたら休めておき, 後ろ身頃も同様に編み, 前後の身頃を接続します. その後, ショート丈ベストの場合は所定の長さのリブを編み, メリヤス編みで綴じてカールさせます. 袖は, 袖ぐりから目を拾い同じようにメリヤス編みで綴じます.
チュニック丈のベストの場合は, 前後の身頃を接続後にリブ編みをして, さらに前後で別々に裾の長さを変えて編みます. 再度, 裾にリブ編みをしてメリヤス編みで綴じます. サイドスリットの端も目を拾いメリヤス編みで同じように綴じます. このパターンでのリブ編み (フィッシャーマンリブ)は, ふっくらとして立体的な仕上がりがデザインの特徴となります. ボリューム袖やオーバーサイズシャツとの重ね着もし易いように, 袖ぐりを大きくとっており, ショート/チュニックいずれの丈もお好みで長さを調整できます. あらかじめ充分なゆとりが含まれていますので, 仕上がり寸法を参考にお好みのサイズを選んでください.
