Tresse
Tresse is a beautifully crafted sweater pattern, designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. The pattern kicks off with the yoke, which is knitted back and forth, incorporating strategic increases towards the front to expertly shape the neckline. After completing the final neck cast-on, the front design is established, and the yoke transitions into rounds featuring raglan increases up to the point of sleeve separation. At this stage, stitches for the sleeves are temporarily placed on hold, allowing for the body to be knitted in continuous rounds, leading down to a stylish split hem. Once the body is finished, attention turns to the neck finishing, which adds that perfect polished touch. Finally, the sleeve stitches are picked up once more to knit the sleeves in rounds from the top down to the cuffs.
