This lightweight pullover features a simple but beautiful texture pattern, created with tuck-stitch columns arranged over a reverse stockinette background. The wide ribbed hem and cuffs align with the columnar motif, as well as the garter stitch neckband which maintains the unbroken line of stitches as it is worked. An empire waist and flared sillhouette create a figure flattering shape, while wider shoulders and a shallow sleeve cap contribute to a relaxed feel in the yoke.
CONSTRUCTION
- Garment pieces are worked flat from the bottom up.
- Collar band is picked up and worked in the round after pieces have been sewn together.
