This A-Line Swing pullover is knit from the top down with a beautiful new Raglan Style stitch pattern. We call this the Star St. because it it done further rows apart and the work to make it happen creates a star. The detail is part of the design. All pieces are worked together until it’s time to remove the sleeves. The body is joined and worked down increasing at stitch markers set in place to create the A-Line. When done with the body, The stitches from the sleeve are picked up and worked down. Promessa is a luscious cotton that is an open fiber blown into an outer I-cord style cage. When the yarn is dyed and washed, the cotton expands but does not get heavy.
