Zizia

INSPIRATION

On my walks along the paths at the weekend, a flower always caught my eye. I visualized it and thought that it could clearly be part of a yoke that would combine the change of color and the cables to emulate the branches that join the different groups of flowers. This flower is the Zizia aurea and it gives its name to this pullover.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW? INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

To knit, purl, make increases and decreases. To work in the round.

SIZES

1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) with final measurement of the sweater after blocking of bust width of 92 (102, 112, 122, 132, 142, 152, 162, 172, 181) cm/

36.25 (40.25, 44, 48, 52, 56, 59.75, 63.75, 67.75, 71.25)”. A positive ease of 10-20 cm/ 4-8” is recommended.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The sweater has a seamless yoke construction and is worked from top to bottom. Once the yoke is knitted, the body and then the sleeves are worked separately. At this point you can knit a few short rows to give more height to the back.
