PATTERN | ORCHIDEJA PULLOVER

Designed by Daniela Johannsenova

The ORCHIDEJA pullover is worked seamlessly top down. A colourful yoke is worked using the intarsia technique in rows that are joined to the round when turning from wrong to right side. Each colour block is worked with a separate strand of yarn. After finishing the colourwork, the pullover is knitted in regular rounds in the main colour.

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: XS (S; M; L; XL; XXL; XXXL) = 29 (32; 35; 39; 42; 47; 52)” / 74 (82; 90; 98; 107; 119; 131) cm bust circumference (measured at the body). The pullover has a relaxed to oversized fit in the smaller sizes. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35” (90 cm), then knit the pullover in size M to have a positive ease of 10.2” (26 cm). In size XXXL, the pullover has a positive ease of 1.6” (4 cm) but there is the possibility of making it larger if required.
