Oblique

This beautifully designed knitting pattern features a bottom-up construction method for the body, seamlessly working in the round until you reach the underarms. Stitches are carefully placed on hold at each underarm, allowing for the shaping of the front and back yokes to be completed flat. After crafting the yokes, the shoulders are seamed together, creating a polished finish. To complete the look, the sleeves are knit top-down using a combination of picked-up stitches and the held stitches from the underarms. This innovative approach ensures a perfect fit and a comfortable wear for your finished garment.
