Pictus from Latin “embellished” is for those, who like me, love colourwork.
The pullover is knit top-down in the round with a floral colourwork pattern running down the yoke, body and part of the sleeve. The pattern on the underarm sections of the body and sleeves is different in each size, making each size even more unique.
The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 80 (92, 103, 115, 127) (138, 150, 162, 173) cm // 32 (36.75, 41.25, 46, 50.75) (55.25, 60, 64.75, 69.25) in incl. ca. 10 cm (4 in) of the recommended positive ease.
The sample is shown in size 2 on a 160 cm (5.3 ft) tall model with ca. 84-66-94 cm (33–26–39 in) body measurements. For more of the finished garment measurements, please refer to the schematic.
