Ippolito is worked top down on circular needle.
The yoke is worked with increases and eyelet pattern.
Due to the increases made, the eyelets are staggered down the yoke.
When all the increases have been made, the work is divided into body and sleeves, and each part is worked separately.
Staggering of the eyelet pattern is continued on both body and sleeves.
Both body and sleeves are finished with rib hem and bound off using the elastic bind off technique.
Besides weaving in ends, no seaming is needed on Ippolito.

Ippolito is knitted in a pattern that shapes small, uneven rows of flowers, resembling the ones in the gardens Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este established in the 16th century by his villa in Tivoli near Rome.
The pattern consists of rows with an uneven lace pattern, divided by purl stitch rows, which in combination with each other create an airy look.
The thread of Paia adds a little extra sparkle and shimmer to the flower garden, just like the many water streams, waterfall and fountains that adorn the Garden of Tivoli to this day.
