Coryn Sweater

CORYN is a feminine elegant sweater with a scalloped neckline and an intricate pattern with bobbles and twisted stitches on the circular yoke, while the body and sleeves are made in reverse stockinette (knitted on wrong side). The pattern also includes instructions on how to make body and sleeves in simple stockinette, should you prefer this option. The top-down construction of this sweater allows you to easily modify the length of the body and sleeves according to your preferences and available yarn amount (my sample was made with 3/4 sleeves). The range of ease across sizes is 10-11 cm/4-4.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 10 cm/4” of positive ease.
