TDSLP Sleeveless Pullovers from the Top Down (any gauge)
WEB EXCLUSIVE

Alfke's Unpatterns are to garments what Barbara Walker's stitch dictionaries are to yarn. They just seem to make everything possible. Here, in 16 beautiful pages, you are guided into making your own personal favorite sleeveless pullover (or vest, or tunic) from the top down. You can work the body flat or circular, as you please; can add bust darts or 'girlie' (waist) shaping if the spirit so moves you; can make V or crew or scoop or turtlenecks; and use any stitch pattern you want. Edgings and pickup rates are covered too. All her instructions are so beautifully presented, charmingly diagrammed, and knowledgeably explained that you will be a much better knitter just from having read the pattern, let alone having knitted from it. Pick any yarn you want, any gauge, and go mad. Templates and worksheets supplied. A cardigan version of the vest is available here; see the entire Unpatterns collection here.
