Fashion and ease comingle in the showstopping Weidlinger pullover. The architectural angles of its modular construction are softened by ribbons of delicate purls throughout. Furrows of broken rib comprise the collar and cuffs, adding interest and structure to even the smallest details, while perpendicular ridges are thoughtfully placed across the front to flatter any shape. Rich in both texture and comfort, Weidlinger will be your go-to pullover for any occasion, from restorative time at home with a cup of tea to your next night out with friends. Equally brilliant in both cropped and classic lengths, you will find it fits seamlessly into your current collection.

Construction

• The sweater is worked flat in pieces. The back is worked from the top down. The front is worked in three pieces which are joined to become one and worked to the hem. The front panels are then sewn together. The shoulders are sewn together and stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked flat to the cuff. The collar is picked up and worked circularly.
• The Weidlinger Stitch pattern may be worked from either charted or written instructions.
