Eula

Eula is a charming knitting pattern that is crafted seamlessly in Garter stitch, designed to be worked from the top down with an adorable buttoned back feature. This pattern begins with short rows that create a beautifully shaped higher back neck, smoothly transitioning into the yoke, which is also worked top down until the sleeve separation. Just before placing the sleeve stitches on hold, additional short rows are utilized to refine the yoke shaping, ensuring a perfect fit. After that, the body is knit down to the ribbing, while the sleeves are completed last, also from the top down to the cuffs. The best part? This pattern requires no additional finishing, offering a straightforward and satisfying knitting experience. If you're planning to use larger buttons than those recommended, make sure to allow for more rows between each buttonhole to ensure a great fit.

The yarn recommended for this delightful project is La Bien Aimée x Mondim, which offers a generous 420 yards (385 m) per 100g skein. The featured color is Rust, but feel free to express your creativity with your choice. The pattern requires approximately 1236 (1318, 1428, 1534, 1660, 1773, 1895) yards / 1130 (1205, 1306, 1403, 1518, 1621, 1733) meters depending on your size selection.

The gauge for this pattern is crucial for achieving the best results: aim for 24.5 stitches x 48 rows to create a 4” (10 cm) square in Garter stitch on a larger needle after blocking your work. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure that your finished piece matches the intended dimensions.

The sample is designed to be worn with 6” (15 cm) of positive ease at the bust, allowing for comfortable wear and stylish results. Embrace the joy of knitting with the Eula pattern and create a stunning, one-of-a-kind garment that’s both cozy and fashionable!
