Meissa Pullover
To celebrate the release the Meissa pattern is 15% off until end of day 10/15/2023 (EST)- no coupon code required
The pullover is worked from the top down seamlessly. The neck is shaped with short rows. The body and sleeves are worked in the round.
The front features a charted star motif with eyelets and bobbles. Bobble notes: The 3-stitch method of bobble used in the sample creates a smaller bobble with a lower profile. The choice of yarn can affect the look of the bobbles and adjacent stitches. Please consider swatching a few bobble methods before you begin and substitute any bobble that you prefer.
There are two options for shaping the sleeves: the gathered cuff (shown in the lighter sample) has a wider sleeve with decreases concentrated at the cuff. The tapered sleeve (shown in the darker sample) has decreases distributed evenly down the length of the arm. The gathered cuff creates a more romantic silouette , and has the advantage of being better for layering over other clothes. The tapered cuff sleeve has a sportier look and the advantage of being easier to layer under other clothes. I could not decide which I prefer so now I have both.
