Amelia

Re-introducing Amelia, my labor of love, updated for top-down construction.  This two-color raglan pullover is worked entirely in Seeded Rib Check – a most comfortable, squishy, and delicate fabric comprised of alternating knits and purls. Top-down construction allows easy modifications to length, as desired.  Below the armhole, bodice and three-quarter sleeves are worked in-the-round.  You’ll find this design to be versatile and multi-season, well worth the enjoyable investment in its knitting.  Enjoy!
