Primevère is a light weight very soft top-down contiguous pullover knitted in Biches &bûches le cashmere & lambswool featuring the beautiful Roosimine technique on both sleeves, along with eyelet cabled hems and cuffs. Start by working the neckline followed by short rows to raise the back and improve the fit. The shoulders are shaped with increases until the required shoulder width, after that additional increases are made on each sleeve as well as the front and back. The upper arm circumference is adjustable to achieve the desired fit. Once the sleeves are separated, stitches are cast on under the arms and the body is knitted straight in stockinette until the eyelet cabled hem. Finally, the sleeves are picked up and knitted in stockinette while incorporating the roosimine motif until the eyelet cabled cuffs
