This light and airy Pullover is inspired by the 19th century actor, comedian and dancer Joseph Grimaldi, who wore a distinctive costume for his stage performances.
The pullover is knitted bottom up, using basic stitches and two colours of yarn. The red diamond contrast stitch is knitted using Mohair and a pick-up stitch method. The Main yarn is Drops Melody, which is soft and light to the touch.
The best thing- there are no floats as in stranded knitting or multiple balls of yarn.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate.
Stitches used: k, p, sl, m1, catch strands from purl row below, inc 1 - 3.
