Bifurca pullover

price excl. VAT €8.00

Bifurca pullover is a sister design to Bifurca vest. It is a cropped pullover with modular construction and a couple of stranded colourwork sections.

The pullover consists of a central panel (essentially a rectangle worked in the round) and four sides, worked sideways from the central panel and joined at the underarms. The sleeves are picked up along the armholes and worked top-down in the round. The hem is picked up along the front, back and sides and extends the length of the body.

You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in Episode 29 of my podcast.
