Ammonite Pullover

$7.00

Ammonite begins with an unexpected openwork hem that is coaxed into shirt-tail shape using short rows. It’s subtle swinging shape is worked seamlessly upward to a wide rounded neckline trimmed in garter stitch.

This pullover is worked from the bottom up in one piece to underarms, then front and back are worked separately.  The shirt-tail hem and shoulder shaping is achieved using short rows. Shoulder seams are joined using a three-needle bind off. Sleeves are worked from the top down using a perpendicular join at underarm.
