Spring Lines

Spring Lines features elegant lines of twisted ribbing that add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise simple V-Neck pullover with compound raglan shaping. The added ribbing pulls the sweater closer to the body, ensuring a fit that accentuates your form - no extra shaping required. If that isn't the fit you are looking for, try using a yarn with less elasticity. The long sleeve sample of this sweater is made in a cotton-blend, and it drapes quite differently from the original short sleeve version in merino & nylon sock yarn.

Spring Lines is worked from the top down with compound raglan shaping. It is worked flat until the V-Neck is joined at the centre front, and then in the round to the underarm separation. Sleeve stitches are put on hold while the body is worked down to the hem. The sleeves are then worked top down with the option of short or long sleeves. The collar is picked up from the edge of the neckline and worked in the round.
