Construction Notes

Constructed with precision, the Diesis pullover is knitted in the round from the top down. The back neck is elevated through the use of short rows, seamlessly integrated into the stitch pattern for a polished look. Once the yoke is complete, stitches are provisionally cast on at the underarms, allowing for a straightforward split between the body and sleeves. This innovative design includes increases in the body section, which creates a flattering flared shape and ensures a smooth hemline. The sleeves are worked downwards featuring elegant decreases and extended contrasting cuffs that add a chic finish.

This knitting pattern is perfect for both beginner and intermediate knitters looking to create a stylish and versatile piece for their wardrobe and can be a cherished addition to any knitter's collection. Embrace the artistry of knitting with this creative and functional pullover design!
