Affogato al caffè by the so creative La Maison Rililie was exclusively designed for our Fall Gourmet-Knitting-Retreat 2023, Take Knitting on a Walk on the Wild Side.
We are thrilled about this exquisite pullover and so pleased to share it with you here.

This oversized and comfy pullover provides a stunning textured effect without the use of any complicated technique. Different yarn weights of the same base and colour are knitted in stripes and only increases and decreases are used to produce the eye-catching effect of the textured stripes and the ruffled look.

The starting point for this design was a focus on the delicate difference in shine and the slight colour change that the same yarn-base, On Stage - Short Stories and On Stage - Long Métrage, can have when spun into a different weight - this distinct look and feel is noticeable in the textured stripes of this project.

The construction is kept minimal with a modified dropped shoulder - to avoid the bulky underarms that sometimes occur with this construction - and wide sleeves that grow out of a short-row section and kept to a 3/4 length.

Finally, a few decreases just above the hem create an elegant blouse shape after the boxy body.

Sizes: XS, (S, M, L), (XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL).

Finished Bust Measurements: 31 (34-37-40) (43-46-49-53)” / 78,5 (86-94-101,5) (109-116-124,5-132) cm
