Far East Pullover is inspired by the beautiful colors and motifs of the Far East region of the World. Warm colors are reminiscent of the spice markets, lotus flowers and floral motives represent the vegetation of the region, and lace adds an embellishment similar to the decorative borders of the eastern garments.

The pullover has a simple top-down construction, with German Short rows and Colorwork yoke, followed by a solid stockinette body, and finished with two color lace border. The body is a slightly A-line shape, fitted at the bust, and relaxed at the hem. Sleeves are knitted top-down, featuring solid stockinette to the elbow, transitioning to a multi-colored lace, with slightly ballooned shape. The color changes create the illusion of layers, making the best use of the yarns used in the Colorwork yoke, but can also be executed in a single color.

The garment is designed to have 0-4” of positive ease at the bust.
