Mansard by Sarah E. Chapman

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

Mansard uses two strands of Maxima held together to create a gorgeous marled pullover. With its oversized silhouette and straightforward shaping, Mansard is a cute, cropped pullover that will become a wardrobe staple!

There are two finishing options: split hem and ribbed. The split-hem version separates for front and back and works a basic eyelet pattern to add interest. The ribbed version has a stockinette body and exaggerated ribbed hem. Play with color and finishing options - Mansard is your canvas!

Notes

This garment is worked in one piece in from the top down with short rows to raise the back neck. After completing the raglan yoke, the stitches are divided for working the lower body and sleeves separately from the underarms down.

The lower body of the plain version is worked in the round to the lower edge. The lower body of the split-hem version is worked in the round for 1”, and then changes to working the back and front separately, back and forth in rows, for the split hem.

This project is worked with one strand of each color held together throughout.
