Pyramis was born out of love for stripes, experimentation, and geometry.
This design’s simple shaping and rhythmic pattern repeats will make for an enjoyable knitting experience and result in a versatile garment!
Construction: The top is knitted flat and sideways as one piece. You will start with the right shoulder, then separate the front and back to create a neck opening, then you will join the front and back to work the left shoulder. The front and back are identical in shaping. Once finished, you will seam the sides using Mattress Stitch and finish the neck and armholes with Applied I-Cord edging.
