DETAILS

A step-by-step pattern that is easy to work.

The Elise pullover is worked top down in the round.

First, the stitches for the neckline are cast on using the provisional cast-on method, which makes it easy to pick up the stitches for the I-cord edging.
Shoulder increases create a nice shoulder shape and form the neckline together with German shorts rows.
The lace pattern is worked and followed by raglan increases. Then, the body and sleeves are divided and worked down in the round. The lace pattern includes both a chart and a written chart.
A twisted rib finishes the body hem, and decreases make the sleeves nicely curved above the I-cord edging -all step by step, with illustrations and links to YouTube tutorials.

The sample is knitted in the lovely “The Yaak” yarn from Polka Dot Sheep Fine Yarns, in colorway Coral.
The Elise Pullover works well in all DK yarns with a little drape, such as superwash and alpaca blend yarns, particularly in The Yaak, with its beautiful drape and shine.
