Apollonis
Apollonis was one of the three daughters of Apollo, and the name of one of the three chords of the lyre. She was the goddess of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts.
The Apollonis pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The neckband is started in Stockinette stitch so it rolls beautifully into a round collar, before changing into a 1x1 rib. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. The back is shaped with short-rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit.
