Pullover Esther (16/04)
Designed by LAMANA

The pullover with boxy cut, stand-up collar and dropped shoulders is worked top down using 2 different qualities of yarn, in a gradually widening stripe pattern and starts at the stand-up collar, which is later folded inwards and sewn at the inside. Out of the stand-up collar stitches, the stitches for front, back and accentuated shoulder line are gradually created. Inc’s on either side of this shoulder line create the final width of front and back, which are each knitted separately back and forth from here down to the underarms. Subsequently, both parts are joined together and body is continued in the round.
Sleeves are knitted directly onto pullover and are also worked in the round.
