Arah Pullover
Arah Pullover
Designed by Danie Davis [La Rue Knits]
The body of the sweater will be worked flat in 3 panels. You will work horizontal stripes, bottom up, on the Back panel and the Front Left panel of the sweater. Then you will pick up stitches from the center of the Front Left panel to work the vertical stripes on the Front Right panel. The Front and Back panels are then seamed together, and the sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round. The sweater has a cropped body length with a high-low hem. The instructions include notes on how to add length to the sweater if you prefer a longer fit. The merino wool held with mohair provides extra strength with a beautiful halo and superb coziness! A timeless knit that will last forever!
