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.
