Nefeli

Description

Nefeli is worked seamlessly from the top down. Starting with the neck shaping, short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck. The yoke is then worked in the round to sleeve separation. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body top down. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs. Both the yoke and sleeve cuff colorwork include some rounds where you have to work with 3 colors. Optional neck finishing can be either worked at the start or worked last. Sample is worn with 5″ (12.5 cm) positive ease at bust.
