Pier 39

**Knitting Pattern Description: Pier 39** Discover the beauty of knitting with our detailed Pier 39 pattern, designed for knitters who appreciate top-down construction. This stunning piece starts with short rows that delicately shape the neck, giving it a tailored fit. After shaping, the upper yoke is worked in rounds until reaching the final shoulder width, ensuring a comfortable and flattering silhouette. The pattern is thoughtfully divided into sections: the front and back are knitted separately in a back-and-forth manner until you reach the underarm. Here, the ingenious design allows the front and back to be seamlessly joined, enabling you to work the body of the garment in rounds all the way to the hem. This technique not only enhances the fit but also simplifies the knitting process. To complete this design, stitches are picked up around the arm openings, incorporating short-row shaping to create a ribbed sleeve that fits perfectly. One unique feature of the Pier 39 is that the neck is left unfinished, providing a modern, relaxed aesthetic. **Original Yarn Recommendations:** For the best results in crafting the Pier 39, we recommend using the following yarns: - **Main Color (MC):** YARNITY Seile, a luxurious 100% silk that comes with an impressive yardage of 437 yards (400 m) per 100 g, beautifully showcased in the color PIER. - **Contrast Color (CC):** TWISTED WILLOW Merino Linen Singles, a delightful blend of 90% merino and 10% linen, with 395 yards (361 m) per 100 g, available in the elegant METAL colorway. **Yardage Requirements:** Ensure you have enough yarn for your project. Approximate yardage needed for MC is 821 (869, 951, 1021, 1121)(1179, 1315, 1423, 1545) yards / 750 (795, 869, 933, 1025)(1078, 1202, 1301, 1412) meters, while for CC, you'll need about 77 (83, 91, 95, 102)(106, 113, 117, 123) yards / 70 (76, 83, 87, 93)(97, 103, 107, 112) meters. **Gauge:** For the best fit and appearance, maintain a gauge of 22 stitches x 33 rows to achieve a 4" (10 cm) square in stockinette stitch. **Fit and Style:** The Pier 39 sample is designed to be worn with approximately 7" (17.5 cm) of positive ease, ensuring that you not only look stylish but also feel comfortable in your handmade creation.
