Dainty Faery

Dainty Faery is a beautifully designed knitted pullover that is crafted from the top down using the innovative Ziggurat technique. This method allows the pullover to seamlessly wind its way back and forth, creating an elegant silhouette. With its delicate details at the neckline and cuffs, this otherwise simple yet stylish pullover showcases a touch of flair that sets it apart. Additionally, a small gather in the back lends an extra swing to the overall design, making it both flattering and comfortable.

Crafted for knitters at all skill levels, the Dainty Faery pattern comes with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that guide you through the entire process, from the initial cast-on to the final bind-off. A specially designed Helpful Table is included to keep track of your rows and shaping, ensuring that your knitting experience is stress-free, although reading it is not mandatory.
