Trilobita
Trilobita is a seamless sweater with circular yoke and ¾ sleeves and worked from the top down, beginning with the neck edging.
After the yoke is completed, body and sleeves are knit separately in the round.
Two optional hip-shapings are available: first option gives a hip size that is equal to the bust size and with the second option the garment will be slightly roomier at the hip area.
Pattern includes instructions for short, elbow length and 3/4 length sleeves for additional customization.
