Lemuria

This cozy and stylish knitting pattern features a beautiful design where the body is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. As you reach the underarms, the back and front sections are divided and crafted separately all the way to the shoulders. The finishing touch for the shoulders involves seaming, creating a polished look. The sleeves are cleverly worked in the round up to the cap shaping, after which they are completed back and forth in rows. The caps of the sleeves are then sewn into the armholes for a comfortable fit. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to form a lovely cowl, and a back strip is knit and sewn into place to enhance the overall design.

The pattern utilizes the Circular Tubular Cast-On Method, providing an exquisite, finished edge to your work. For your convenience, we've included a link to a comprehensive photo tutorial to guide you through this technique.
