Wimmona

**Wimmona** is a drop shoulder constructed pullover. Knit from the bottom up, short rows are used to maintain a slightly cropped length in the front with a gradually increasing and slightly longer length in the back. The garment is worked in the round to the armholes, then knit flat to the shoulders. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edges and full bishop shaped sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff. The body is worked in stockinette stitch and the sleeves are worked in a simple stranded colorwork design. Edges are finished with an I-Cord Bind Off. A decorative sculptural cord is included as an accessory. Wimmona takes inspiration from the sea. Walks along the Maine coastline reveal a vast variety seaweed types. The stranded design and sculptural cord are meant to mimic Ascophyllum nodosum, a seaweed with long leathery fronds and egg-shaped air bladders dotting a path along the length of the fronds. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10, 11) Finished chest circumference: 36.25 (40, 44.25, 48) (52.25, 56, 60.25) (64, 68.25, 72, 76.25)” / 92 (101.5, 112, 122) (132.5, 142, 153) (162.5, 173, 183, 193.5) cm.
