Mitzi

Mitzi! – a sassy name for a shapely pullover with plunging v-neckline and pizzazz. Wide ribbing through the bodice adds slimming vertical stripes that extend up and around the raised collar. This piece is worked top down in the round, and is mostly seamless (all except collar to bodice at back neckline). Top-down sleeves are worked in the fabulous cap method defined by Elizabeth Doherty in her publication Top Down: Reimagining Set-in Sleeve Design. 

14 page pdf includes pattern instructions, photographs, schematics, drawings, a row tracking grid for managing at-the-same-time instructions, and definitions for relevant abbreviations.
