Foliole is a tailored Ziggurat pullover with beautiful allover trailing vines and some fine details to make a knitterly heart happy.
A double-knitted split lined hem gives your hips free play and makes sure your sweater doesn’t rest on your bum.

The cuffs, too, are double knitted.
But of course, you can choose a simpler seamless lined hem and cuffs (there are photo tutorials to guide you).

  • Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • no seaming
  • very few ends to weave in
  • split hip-friendly hem
  • all-over stranded colourwork

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
