DARYA is made seamlessly from the top down, with a scalloped neckline and an intricate lace pattern on the circular yoke, while the rest is made in simple stockinette. I added some more lace to hem and cuffs to keep the knitter entertained and also to form a scalloped edging which can be emphasized by wet blocking.

The range of ease across all the sizes is 17.5-18 cm/7-7.25”. The picture shows size 3 with 18 cm/7.25” of positive ease.
