Named after its inspiration - amaryllis flowers - the Amaryllis pullover is cozy elegance with touches of interesting neckline and sleeve details. It is worked with a single strand of fluffy, lace-weight suri/silk yarn - creating a very airy and light fabric that still holds a lot of warmth. The entire pullover is worked in one-color brioche in the round with a graceful neckline edge.
The pullover is worked top down, starting with the flattering open neckline, followed by simple short rows and raglan increases. Then the sleeves and body are worked individually in the round. Included in the pattern is an optional waist tie that can add an extra element of elegance to the garment and more styling options. This pattern is appropriate for any knitter comfortable with one-color brioche knitting.
