Description

Tsumuzikaze is a Japanese word that means whirlwind, the design inspiration for this lovely pattern with an asymmetrical ‘whirling’ hem. This pullover is worked from the top down in the round. An eyelet pattern on the shoulders are worked as increases. The sleeve openings are created by working the front and backs separately back and forth, then in the round from the armhole down. The lower asymetrical edge is shaped with short rows. The design has enough ease at the bust, but it fits nicely around body with effect of a whirl.
