Chamomile by Vanessa Pellisa is a top-down stripy drop-shoulder pullover with neck gussets and the choice between two neckband options, folded or rolled. The pattern is written for both a long and short sleeve version making it both the perfect summer tee and a sweater for cool evenings. It is inspired by classic French Breton Marinière tops, Provence markets and lazy evenings at the beach.

This boxy sweater is knitted top-down following a simple stripe pattern. First, the back and front are worked flat to the underarm. Then, both sections are joined together and the sweater is worked top-down seamlessly in the rnd to the end. Short row shaping is incorporated at the shoulders for an improved fit. Then, stitches are picked up at the front and back shoulders, and a gusset and saddle seam are worked at the shoulders. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the armhole for the sleeves and these are worked seamlessly in the rnd to the end.

Chamomile is the ninth pattern from The Almanac Series, a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns. This collection will feature a new design every month, each in a different yarn according to the qualities of the yarn to match the season.
