for Unpatterns 2010
Drop-Shoulder Pullovers From the Bottom Up (any gauge)
WEB EXCLUSIVE
Again we say: Alfke's Unpatterns are to garments what Barbara Walker's stitch dictionaries are to yarn. They just seem to make everything possible. Here, in 20 beautiful pages, you are guided into making your own personal favorite drop-shoulder sweater. You can work sleeves or 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. Alfke indents her underarms once on the body for a modified drop-shoulder (or peasant) armhole, and has you pick up around the armhole and knit down (flat or circular). 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. See the entire Unpatterns collection here.
