Polonaise

“Polonaise” is a boxy pullover featuring smocking and twisted rib stitches.

First, two I-cords are knit and stitches are picked up for the back and front along the I-cord edges. German short rows are used to shape the shoulders in 1x2 twisted rib, then the front and back of the pullover are worked back and forth separately to the underarm with smoking pattern. They are then joined and worked in the round in one piece to the hem. The sleeves are worked top down in the round in 1x2 twisted rib, and the cuffs are worked in 1x1 twisted rib. The body and sleeves feature a lateral braid as an accent.
