Cantabile: Like singing
This pullover has ruffles at the hem that flare out like a song.
Designed by Miki Teragaki.
Knit a plain body with two strands of La Bien Aimee Helix or Felix, then knit a fluffy frill with La Bien Aimee Kumo. The addition of Kumo gives the knitted fabric a unique look, creating a mature frill with just the right amount of drape.
Knit in a circle from the top down. Start by knitting MC1 and MC2 together. As you knit, increase stitches on the raglan line while knitting the sleeves and body at the same time. Take a break from the sleeves and knit toward the hem, knitting the ruffles while knitting CC together and increasing stitches. With this pattern, you can choose the length of the sleeves, the number of ruffles, and the length.
