Carina

Carina is a sweet, stripey, and elegant pullover with a relaxed, dolman sleeve silhouette to keep you feeling as cozy as can be. Shimmering Noelle pops amongst a background of solid Deluxe DK Superwash, in a slip stitch stripes pattern that feels rhythmic and meditative. The softly changing colors in Noelle ensure that you can pair your Carina pullover with just about anything else in your wardrobe.

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater features dolman sleeves and is intended to be worn with generous positive ease at the bust. Choose a size with approx. 7-10” of positive ease from the fullest point of your bust measurement.

This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. The front and back are separated at the underarms and worked flat. The shoulders feature a long slope that creates a beautiful, decorative effect. The sleeves are picked up and worked from the top down. Neck stitches are picked up during finishing and worked in the round.

In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held to the wrong side of work.

Carina is available as part of e-book Subtle Glow, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
