Please note: This pattern is part of a set, see also Tipsy Sailor Hat

Quoted from the magazine “Véronik Avery likes to collect ideas from fashion and costume books and put them together in fresh and unexpected ways. This time, her Tipsy Sailor sweater combines the cut and feel of a traditional Brittany striped sailor shirt and an Indian-slanted Pucci palette. She used increases and decreases to ‘tip’ the stripes up and down across the sweater and short rows to shape the front neck and sleeve caps. As in the traditional sailor sweater, the shoulders are bound off straight across, then overlapped at the shoulder, which adds scoop to the neckline. The matching ribbed hat has a charming whirlpool pattern at the crown.”
