Pilea Sweater

It is knitted seamlessly, beginning with a top-down saddle shoulder design. The neckband is extended on the side, resembling a plate rather than being round. If you prefer a snugger fit for the neckband, consider using a smaller size of the needle. It's **reversible.** When worn inside out, the purl stitch texture gives it a more casual and cute vibe. The chest dart is crafted by using German short rows, resulting in a better fit when worn compared to when laid flat. It's advisable to choose yarn or material that retains its shape well after washing and blocking. Overall, it is a half-sleeved short sweater, the back is longer than the front. The length of both the garment and the sleeves can be customized. ► Skill Level : 2/5 ► Moderate fit ► Size directions : 1 (2, 3) (4, 5) Chest circumference 90 (98, 109) (122, 135) cm Sample size is 2. ► Needles : 4.5 mm (US7) 32 or 40" circular needles, 16" circular needle or a set of 5 double pointed needles (Option for a snugger fit) 4.0 mm (US6) 16 or 24" circular needle ► Yarn : Heavy DK or Fingering & heavy mohair held together Sample yarn info : Restrosaria Rosa Pomar MONDIM (fingering), 214 & Lana Grossa Mohairlana (mohair), 07 held together ► Gauge : 18 stitches X 25 rows equal 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in Stockinette stitch, measured after washing and blocking. ► Notions : 5 markers, a tapestry needle
