Marjorie

Reintroducing the elegant Marjorie – a stunning feminine raglan pullover that features a charming stockinette bodice complemented by exquisite lace, three-quarter sleeves. This beloved design has been newly updated with revised text and detailed metrics to enhance your knitting experience. The Marjorie pullover is skillfully worked from the bottom up and in-the-round until reaching the armholes, where it elegantly splits into separate front and back panels that are then knitted flat. The delightful sleeves are constructed flat as well, showcasing a beautiful Diamond Mesh Lace pattern – an initially intimidating 12-stitch by 20-row repeat that is, once mastered, a true testament to your knitting skills and adds an eye-catching detail to your garment. The sleeves are thoughtfully seamed and joined to the upper bodice along their raglan edges, creating a refined silhouette. The ribbed trim at the neckline beautifully matches the hems, with stitches picked up from the held stitches at both the bodice and sleeve tops, ensuring a polished finish. This project promises to be a fun and rewarding knitting adventure suitable for a range of skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your journey, you'll enjoy every stitch of creating the stunning Marjorie pullover. Embrace the opportunity to wear such a lovely piece, and happy knitting!

SKILLS REQUIRED: To successfully knit the Marjorie pullover, you will need to master the following skills: Long-tail CO, circular knitting, and various decreasing techniques (ssk, k2tog, sl1–k2tog–psso, p2tog, p2tog tbl), alongside increasing methods (m1L, m1R, yo, k1/p1 (or p1/k1) in the same stitch). Additionally, you should have experience with short row shaping, seaming, stitch pick-up for the neckline trim, and, of course, blocking your finished piece to perfection. Get ready to create a beautiful addition to your wardrobe!
