Among Petals - an elegant lace tunic

Graceful, organic, elegant: this summer handknit is here to elevate your everyday.

This is fingering weight confection, and while yes, only true lace lovers need apply, there's lots of potato chip knitting in store for you too. With an approachable in-the-round construction, a modest stockinette chest and a peekaboo back moment, Among Petals will have you loving every stitch.

Construction

Among Petals is knit in the round from the bottom up and the shoulders are seamed. Stitches are picked up and knit for the sleeves, which are worked seamlessly. Stitches are picked up and immediately bound-off using a decorative braid for the neckline.

This pullover features A-line shaping, dropped shoulders, and instructions for short row bust shaping in four optional sizes.

Optional Bust Shaping

Optional instructions for adding short rows for bust shaping, in four sizes, give you your best fit.

Your best fit

Choose the size closest to your actual upper chest measurement: 27.75 (31.75, 35.75, 39.25) [42.25, 44.5, 47.5] (50.5, 53.5, 56.6, 59.25) inches / 70.5 (80.5, 91, 99.5) [107.5, 113, 120.5] (128.5, 136, 143.5, 150.5) cm

Upper chest is measured above the full bust, at an angle close to diagonal beneath the underarms, and straight across the back.

Among Petals is designed to fit with approximately 5.25 inches / 13 cm of positive ease at the fullest part of your bust.

If you need additional room for the bust, as Jen does, working the optional short row shaping will give you the best fit in the shoulders and armholes, while still making room for your chest. Short rows add length to the front only of the garment, so that the hem does not rise in the front.

Jen is wearing size 4, Cup 2, with .5 inch / 1 cm of negative ease at the full bust and 2 inches / 5 cm of positive ease at the upper arm. Her upper chest is 41 inches / 102.5 cm and she is 5’8” / 173 cm tall.
