A striking lace and twist stitch panel flows gracefully up the front, and splits elegantly at the v-neck, drawing the eye upward.

How-to videos for the stitch pattern and German short rows will be added soon, and when those links are available, I’ll send out an updated pattern.

This stunning popover features a seamless construction; it is worked from the bottom up in the round, and divided for back and front at the underarm. Shoulders are shaped using German short
rows, and joined with three-needle bind off. A striking lace and twist stitch panel flows gracefully up the front, and splits elegantly at the v-neck. The neckline and armhole edges are trimmed with ribbing, which is picked up and worked in the round.
