About this pattern
Our lustrous summer donegal yarn, Lovat DK, lends itself gorgeously to this modern take on a classic stripe design.

This garment consists of just two panels, which are worked across the body (not bottom up or top down.) Starting with the sleeves, which are integrated into the front and back panels, then working across into the main body which features armhole and neckline shaping. This process is reflected into the other half of the body, finishing on the second sleeve. Cuffs feature roll back edge detailing. The finished panels are turned on their sides to create vertical stripes and seamed afterwards. Then the neckline is picked up and worked in the round to finish.

It is an English (UK) written pattern, including a measurement diagram.
