Notes: Plumetis is worked from the bottom up, mostly with a single strand of mohair lace, with a simple drop-shoulder construction. The body is worked in the round with WS facing to the underarms, then the upper back and front are separated and worked flat to the shoulders. The straight shape and oversized fit works well in the light, flowy fabric. The large and dramatic sleeves are stylishly gathered at the cuff, and the sweater is embellished by a large collar with a frilly scalloped edge. The collar, sleeve cuffs and bottom hem are worked in 1x1 twisted rib using a fingering / 4-ply-weight yarn: this adds a contrasting element to the design, and gives structure to the garment.
The front shape of the collar is mirrored in the back. A small opening in the back neck is edged with a thin icord in the fingering / 4-ply weight yarn and closed with a single button at the top. The Old Norwegian cast-on / German Twisted cast-on method is recommended.
