Juttu
Juttu is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that works seamlessly from the top down, making it perfect for knitters looking for a straightforward yet elegant project. Starting with the right front, you'll create the shoulder slope through short rows worked back and forth, allowing for a custom fit and a professional finish. After completing the short row shaping, the right front is knitted in a lovely pattern to reach the final length of the arm opening. Once finished, this piece is placed on hold while you work the left front to perfectly match its counterpart. Next, stitches for the back are picked up from the cast-on edges of both the right and left fronts, and you'll continue to work in pattern until it matches the length of the fronts. Once the lengths align, the fronts and back are joined at the underarm to work the body in one continuous piece down to the chic bottom ribbing. When you arrive at the sleeves, you'll pick up stitches around the arm openings and knit the sleeves from the top down in the round, using plain Stockinette stitch to the cuffs. This method ensures a smooth and flattering silhouette for your finished garment. For this knitting pattern, it's recommended to have an ease of 10 - 12" (25.5 - 30.5 cm) for a comfortable fit.
