It is HOT outside. As many of us retreat indoors this weekend, I am itching to cast on something new. The Piping Hot Sweater has all the elements to keep my attention while stitching away poolside.
This pullover is worked from the top down in one piece using Di Gilpin Lalland and features contrasting-color piping that runs down the garment. Our team is already excited about the potential color combinations! Di Gilpin Lalland is 100% Scottish Lambswool – an incredibly soft yarn that we source directly from Scotland:
Piping Hot Sweater
by Lily Kate France
Sizing and measurements:
Sizes: 1 (2; 3; 4; 5) (6; 7; 8; 9), detailed below, are designed to be worn with approximately 8” positive ease for sizes 1-3, approximately 7” ease for sizes 4-6, and approximately 6” ease for sizes 7-9. The sample shown is a size 2 worn on a 34” bust with approximately 8” positive ease.
If you are between sizes, size down. If you choose a size too big, the armhole ‘seams’ will sit too far down the arm and the sleeves will be too long.
