Diesis

Inspired by stripes, checks and tartans, the pullover mixes vertical and horizontal lines with an all-over stitch pattern that grows with the shaping of the garment. The contrasting cuffs, hem and neck add colour to the piece like accessories.

Construction notes

Diesis is worked in the round from the top down. The back neck is raised with short rows worked into the stitch pattern. Once the yoke is complete, stitches are provisionally cast on at the underarms and the body and sleeves are split. Increases in the body section create a flared shape and ensure the hem sits smoothly. Sleeves are worked downward with decreases and extra long contrasting cuffs.
