Purl Strings

Introducing the Purl Strings knitting pattern—your ultimate guide to creating a beautiful, top-down garment that showcases the art of knitting! This stylish piece is crafted in one continuous piece, starting at the neck. You have the option to cast on the collar stitches first for a traditional approach or use a provisional cast-on for the flexibility to work the collar later, allowing you to adjust its size according to your preference. The pattern features short row shaping to elegantly raise the back neckline, ensuring a comfortable fit. After the yoke, you will work the body and sleeves seamlessly in the round, making it a wonderful choice for knitters who love smooth construction.

The exquisite textures of the Purl Strings design are effortlessly created through a variety of engaging purl stitches, adding visual interest and depth to your finished garment. Whether you prefer elbow-length sleeves or a cozy long-sleeve option, both sets of instructions are provided to cater to your style. This pattern is designed to be worn with a chic 2-5 inches (5-12 cm) of positive ease around the chest, providing a relaxed yet flattering silhouette. The body length from the underarm measures approximately 12-13 inches (31-34 cm), but if you dream of a longer design, feel free to adjust accordingly—just keep in mind that you may require more yarn than initially suggested.

Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, the Purl Strings pattern invites you to explore new techniques while creating a stunning piece that you’ll cherish for years. Dive into this project today and treat yourself to the joy of knitting with our comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide!
