"This classic A-line tunic is knitted flat from the bottom up with some simple shaping along the sides," explains Frankel. "The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches around the armholes and shaped with short rows." This is a darling easy pattern that works up quickly in DK/8 ply, and is a good introduction to short rows. Your girl's arms emerge from the bell-shaped sleevelets like the stems of a flower. Pretty? You bet. And the shaping for left and right shoulder/neck is given separately-- a boon for those who quail at "reverse shaping".
