DAA (don't ask again)
Introducing the DAA knitting pattern, designed for seamless top-down construction, perfect for knitters looking to refine their skills and create a stunning finished garment. This innovative design incorporates a unique yoke shaping technique, using a modified version of the popular contiguous set-in sleeve method developed by renowned designer Susie Myers. Once the yoke shaping is complete, you’ll place the sleeve stitches on hold and cast on the underarm stitches using your preferred method, ensuring a customized fit. The body of the garment is then worked back and forth until reaching the elegant ribbing detail. If you're looking for a little extra flair, optional pocket instructions are also included, making this pattern not only stylish but practical as well.
Once the body is completed, the pattern guides you through the creation of button bands and neck finishing, adding that professional touch to your project. Finally, the sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in rounds from the top down, culminating in beautifully finished cuffs. This DAA pattern is versatile and suitable for knitters of various skill levels, making it a wonderful addition to your knitting repertoire.
