Birdsong
Birdsong is a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that is designed to be knit seamlessly, expertly blending both bottom-up and top-down construction techniques. You will start at the hem and work your way up through the neck while provisionally casting on the upper sleeve stitches. The sleeves are then knitted from the top down, with comprehensive instructions provided for four different sleeve lengths to suit your style preferences. Featuring slight A-line shaping and a charming scalloped lace hem, Birdsong makes for an elegant, versatile, and easy-to-wear wardrobe staple. This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Knit in fingering weight yarn, we recommend selecting a yarn with excellent drape to ensure a flattering fit for this lovely garment. The sample pictured is designed to be worn with 1.5 inches / 4 cm of positive ease, adding to its comfort and style.
