Flippend Pullover

€6.00

The Flippend Pullover

Ideal for getting dressed in the dark on a cold morning, or for looking your avant-garde best at a winter soirée, this 4-way reversible pullover can be worn upside down or back to front… because it is identical in each direction.

The wide cowl-neck doubles as a cinched hem, while the roomy bodice, sloping shoulders, and tapering sleeves create a fluid silhouette.

Whether you prefer to work top-down or bottom up, this design will ‘flippendly’ accommodate. Knit it in a solid colour to tone down the quirkiness, or in stripes to highlight the unusual construction details. Keep an open mind and enjoy!

NOTES

CONSTRUCTION
This garment is knitted seamlessly, in the round, from end to end (there is no ‘top-down’ or ‘bottom-up,’ because it is the same in both directions). After the main body of the pullover is completed, sleeves are picked up by unraveling stitches from scrap yarn, and worked top-down. If you have knitted socks or mittens with ‘peasant’ heels or thumbs, or if you have knitted the Ciorcal Cardigan the sleeves here are worked in the same manner.
