Spicy stem pullover
It is meant to be a very down to earth, simple pullover, which is easy to modify and adjust to fit anyone. It turned out every bit as beautiful and versatile as I hoped for.
The pullover is worked top down seamless in the round, featuring a well fitted round yoke with textural ribbing on the neck, hem, cuffs and shoulders. Both the body and sleeves are worked straight down with no additional shaping and are gathered at the hem and cuffs.
You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in this podcast episode.
