Estelle's Envy

Introducing Estelle's Envy – a slim pullover topped off with an abundant alpaca cowl collar. Worked bottom up, and in the round, with sleeves in the round too, this design is mostly seamless, except for the sleeve caps that are briefly shaped with short rows at their ends and set in. The luxurious collar, spawned from stitches picked up around the neckline, is worked in the rib of its trim using so very soft alpaca dk – a pleasure to knit with and to wear. Enjoy!
