Sinuous animal forms burst from a background of subtle knotwork in the Fia Pullover. Both the sleeves and the body begin from the bottom up with a simple garter stitch cuff. The sleeves are identical and worked separately until the sleeve cap; they are then joined with steeks and worked together in the round to the top of the caps. An all-over knotwork patterning translated into stranded colorwork form the background while a Celtic-inspired animal motif runs up the front and back panels. Subtle shaping is worked through the waist for a flattering fit, while a classic curved v-neck with a garter stitch collar finishes off this captivating pullover. You will need US 3 (3.25mm) 32-60” circular needles or size to obtain gauge, 32-60” circular needles one size smaller than those used to obtain gauge, yarn needle, stitch markers, scrap yarn, sewing needle and thread for steeks.
