Rockport Top-Down Shell #107
When I lived in Massachusetts, one of my favorite towns to visit was Rockport. This charming coastal gem is packed with fascinating old buildings, unique shops, and breathtaking views of the ocean, making it an ideal getaway. Each visit to Rockport brought a sense of ease and comfort, much like the feeling I get when wearing this delightful shell pattern. Its design is not only stylish but also incredibly versatile, perfect for casual outings or more formal occasions. This knitted shell is beautifully shaped at the waist, but if you prefer a more relaxed, less curvy fit, you have the option to omit the waist and hip shaping entirely, allowing you to create a straight silhouette from the armholes down.
This shell is worked from the top down, beginning joyfully at the back shoulders. The back section is knitted to the armholes and is then placed on hold. Next, you can easily pick up the front from the back shoulders and continue working until you reach the armholes. Once both the front and back are completed, they are joined together, and the body is knitted all the way down to the bottom edge. This seamless construction makes it a perfect project for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a beautiful and comfortable garment.
Whether you’re reminiscing about sunny days spent in Rockport or enjoying a peaceful moment at home, this shell pattern will inspire you to add a touch of coastal charm to your wardrobe. Grab your yarn and needles, and let this delightful design transport you to the serene shores of Rockport with every stitch!
