Watatsumi is a pullover knit using amirisu Swing.
The crocheted color work on the neckline and cuffs adds an accent.
The clean boat neck and subtle balloon sleeves create a cute silhouette, and the puff stitches adds a charming touch.
Knit from the top down. While knitting the ribbing use short rows to shape the front neckline and then knit the yoke in two parts, one in crochet and one in knitting. After separating the sleeves, knit the body and sleeves separately in the round to the hem/ cuffs. You can choose between two sleeve versions: the first is loose, without any shaping and a crocheted motif just before the the cuffs (see photo), and the second is knit in stockinette stitch for a fitted look.
