Flow DK

To celebrate its release, the pattern is 15% off with the code FLOWDK until Sunday, November 19th, Midnight, CET.

The pattern includes an Englisch and a German version.

Flow DK is the cooler-season sibling to the original Flow pattern. Worked in a thicker yarn or, as in the case of my sample, with two thinner yarns held together, this pullover is the perfect companion to keep you warm in winter.

PATTERN NOTES:

The garment is worked in the round from the top down, starting with a folded, twisted rib neckband, followed by the decorative cable motif on the yoke.

Short rows are used to raise the back and improve the fit at the neckline. Shaping is done within the cable pattern, finishing with a few increase rounds at the bottom of the yoke. Once this is complete, body and sleeves are separated.

The piece is turned inside out to work the body and the sleeves.

The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.

Row gauge is especially important for this design, since it defines the yoke depth and therefore the fit around the shoulders.
