B(l)ack to Life

B(l)ack to Life is a stunning knitting pattern that is worked seamlessly from the top down, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. This stylish design features a beautifully shaped yoke, crafted using the innovative contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by the talented designer Susie Myers. The construction begins with the yoke, which is worked back and forth to establish the final neck cast-on (CO). Once the neck shaping is finished, the yoke is transformed into rounds leading up to the sleeve separation.

At this stage, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the underarm stitches are comfortably cast on using your preferred technique. The body of the garment is then worked in rounds down to the ribbing, ensuring a smooth and polished finish. After completing the body, the sleeve stitches are picked up once more to knit the sleeves in rounds down to the cuffs. For an extra touch of elegance, the neck finishing is worked last. To personalize this lovely piece, a cute and easy flower embroidery is added, elevating the overall look and making it truly unique.
