Tuntu pullover

Knitting seamlessly bottom-up in the round, you start Tuntu right away with the interesting textured pattern of the hem that gives the sweater a slight A-line, and work straight up to the underarm. Then, the sleeves are knitted separately and joined with the body. The yoke is shaped with a number of wrap & turn short rows. You then knit the textured pattern of twisted stitch cables and slipped stitch until the neckline ribbing. The transitions from hem to body, as well as from yoke to neckline are worked with double knitting, and give the sweater a very sophisticated finish.
