Elah

Introducing the Elah knitting pattern, a beautifully crafted garment designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This versatile pattern features intricate lace patterns on the fronts while the back is elegantly worked in a smooth Stockinette stitch. The knitting journey begins with a provisional cast-on for the shoulders of the fronts, followed by a short-row shaped shoulder slope that adds a flattering fit. After completing the shoulder sections, the fronts are knitted flat until you reach the underarm.

To create the back, stitches are expertly picked up from the provisional cast-on of both front shoulders, allowing you to work it to the same length as the fronts. Once you reach the underarm, all pieces—the fronts and back—are seamlessly joined, enabling you to knit the body in one continuous piece from top to bottom, finishing with a stylish hem. The sleeves are crafted by picking up stitches around the arm openings, and are worked in a cozy Stockinette stitch, top down in rounds until reaching the cuffs.

This knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to create a fashionable yet comfortable piece that boasts a recommended ease of 10 - 12 inches (25.5 - 30.5 cm). For your project, we recommend using the original yarn: Brooklyn Tweed Imbue, which provides a warm and luxurious feel. Each skein contains 104 yards (95 m) of yarn and is available in various colors, including the lovely shade Ash featured in the sample.

The pattern requires between 9 to 16 skeins, translating to approximately 935 to 1609 yards (or 855 to 1471 meters) of a worsted weight yarn that meets the specified gauge. This ensures your final project has the ideal fit and drape. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate enthusiast, the Elah knitting pattern will inspire creativity and yield a stunning garment you'll cherish for years to come.
