This is my second Corset Pullover made according to my own recipe, this time in a slightly heavier yarn. I worked with a total stitch number of 224.
The pullover consists of four parts: the bottom (bodice) is a tube top worked in the round, the sleeves repeat one fourth of the bodice, and are sewn in place. They can be worked flat or in the round, at least up to the armholes. I worked mine flat, and, for the very first time, closed the side seams in mattress stitch. The lace yoke is knitted on.
Most of it is simple 2x2 ribbing, with some easy lace on top. The only special features are the i-cord bind-offs.
The pullover is for ladies who would like to show their hourglass figure but don’t want to bother with waist shaping. It’s extremely stretchy and meant to be very close-fitting.
