Note
Solstice is knit flat from the bottom up in one piece. The one-piece construction eliminates the need for side seams and prevents excess bulk on the body. The body starts with 1x1 ribbing that transitions to an allover lace and textured knit stitch. Knit with a bulky weight yarn, the body works up quickly. The Fronts & Back are separated at the armhole and worked separately to the shoulder. Subtle neck shaping is used to create a flattering fit at the neckline. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole openings and worked in the round to the cuffs in Stockinette stitch for a slimming silhouette, with cuffs worked in 1x1 ribbing. Once the body and sleeves have been blocked, stitches are picked up for neckband and worked in 1x1 ribbing.
Depending on sizes, Stockinette stitch is inserted between fronts and back panels, and fronts and front bands.

1枚で, ボトムアップで往復編みで編む. 1枚で編むので脇綴じが不要で, 身頃の余分なゴロつきを防ぐ. 身頃は1目ゴム編みで始めた後, レース模様と質感のある表編みを身頃全体に編む. bulky weightの糸で編むので, 身頃がすぐに編みあがる. 前後身頃は袖ぐりで分け, 肩まで別々に編む. 首元にきれいに添うように繊細な襟のシェイピングをデザインしている. 袖は袖ぐりから目を拾い, すっきりした形にするため袖口までメリヤス編みで輪で編む. 袖口は1目ゴム編みで編む. 身頃と袖をブロッキングしたら前立ての目を拾い, 1目ゴム編みで編む.
サイズにより前後身頃の間, および前身頃と前立ての間にメリヤス編みを入れる.
