Interstellar

Interstellar is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that works seamlessly from the top down, making it a fantastic project for knitters of all skill levels. This sweater begins with a cast-on at the shoulders, utilizing short rows to expertly shape the shoulders. Once the shoulder parts are completed, they are joined together, allowing you to work the back down to the underarm. After finishing the back, stitches are picked up at the shoulder to create each front, leading to the final neck cast-on that elegantly closes the neck. The front is then knitted down to the underarm, where it joins the back. Together, the back and front are worked in the round until you reach the eye-catching colorwork hem. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armholes, and each sleeve is worked from the top down in the round to the cuffs, ensuring a perfect fit and beautiful finish. The neck finishing is the final touch, providing an elegant completion to this stunning garment.
