Jelia
Introducing the Jelia pullover, a beautifully crafted sweater designed to be knitted from the top down and in the round, enhancing your knitting experience with a seamless finish. This innovative design features short rows worked back and forth, allowing for a flattering fit and shape. The standout feature of the Jelia pullover is the lovely stranded circles, which can be expertly knitted using either variegated yarn or by creatively mixing your own colors. To further inspire your creativity, the pattern includes a blank chart at the end where you can visualize and paint your chosen colors into the design!
This pullover is thoughtfully designed with a positive ease of 2 – 3 cm, ensuring a comfortable fit without being overly loose. If you prefer your sweater to be a bit roomier for added comfort, we recommend working one size larger.
