Mitzi

Introducing **Mitzi!** – a stylish and sassy name for a shapely pullover featuring an alluring plunging v-neckline and eye-catching pizzazz. The design incorporates wide ribbing throughout the bodice, creating flattering vertical stripes that elegantly extend up and around a raised collar. This beautiful piece is crafted from the top down in the round, ensuring a mostly seamless construction (with the exception of the collar to bodice connection at the back neckline).

The top-down sleeves are expertly worked using the innovative cap method developed by Elizabeth Doherty, as described in her acclaimed publication, Top Down: Reimagining Set-in Sleeve Design. This technique not only simplifies the sleeve construction but also results in a polished finish that every knitter will appreciate!
