Lillesol

Lillesol is an exquisite knitting pattern designed to be crafted seamlessly from the top down, making it a perfect choice for knitters of all skill levels. This elegant design features a cozy back worked in classic plain Stockinette stitch, while the front showcases a stunning cable pattern that draws the eye and sets this piece apart. The knitting journey begins with casting on the shoulders for the back. After completing the short row shaped shoulder slope, the back is worked flat until reaching the underarm. Once the back is finished, shoulder stitches are picked up to create the front, ensuring both pieces match in length for a beautifully harmonious silhouette. At the underarm, the front and back are joined, allowing the body to be worked in rounds from the top down, resulting in a comfortable fit. For added versatility, sleeve stitches can be picked up around the arm openings, enabling you to knit either short or long sleeves top down in rounds. This flexibility means that you can tailor the Lillesol pattern to your personal style and seasonal needs. **Original Yarn Options:** For a charming look with short sleeves, choose **Pascuali Puno Winikunka** [218 yds (200 m)/50g] in the lovely **color 64/Safran**.
