There’s something Irish about this lovely pullover. Maybe it’s the shaping at the waist and sleeve cuffs that remind me just a bit of Irish step-dancing costumes. Maybe it’s the fiery color. Maybe it’s just that I’m Celtic at heart, and it takes little to make me think Irish or Scottish. Whatever it is, this is a wonderful sweater, nicely shaped at the waist, with a flattering square neck and feminine belled sleeves. Sláinte!
This pullover is worked from the top down, beginning at the back shoulders. The back is worked to the armholes, then placed on hold while the front is picked up from the back shoulders and worked to the armholes. Then the back and front are joined and the body is worked to the bottom edge, with waist and hip shaping. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked to the cuffs, with short-row shaping to shape the sleeve caps.
