ANOUSHKA

Experience the art of knitting with the ANOUSHKA pattern, designed for seamless construction from the top down. This unique design features short rows that skillfully shape the neckline, providing a flattering fit. The beauty of ANOUSHKA lies in its lovely, round, patterned yoke, which is expertly knitted in the round until sleeve separation. Once the sleeves are completed, their stitches are placed on hold while the body of the garment is knitted down to the hem. Afterward, the sleeve stitches are picked up again to finish the sleeves, including a delightful repeat of fair isle knitting right before the final ribbing, echoing the enchanting yoke pattern. All fair isle patterns are conveniently charted for ease of use, making this a perfect project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.
