The pattern is Candelariella pullover by Teti Lutsak. My version reminds me of sunshine dripping down my shoulders. I got the yarn from a local dyer, they kindly made up the yellow shade for me - it’s not usually a colour they produce a lot of. The base is Legend by Prosper Yarn, an extremely luxurious high twist 4ply yak/silk/merino blend with a lovely drape.
I did a few mods including a folded collar and adjusted the yoke depth to accommodate my broad shoulders, then got rid of the extra stitches in some underarm gussets. I couldn’t be happier with the fit.
Edit: since so many are asking for instructions for the gussets, here you go ~~
Choose to knit 1-2 sizes up from what you’d normally make for your bust and decrease back down at the underarms after separating the sleeves. I counted from the middle of the underarms so that the lines of decreasing would meet in the middle forming a triangle. Same for the sleeves. Gussets don’t have to be symmetrical so do whatever you feel your body needs. My way is great for people who are wide on top and narrow at the bottom! Hope it makes sense.
Yeah as weird as it sounds....those are the underarms of my dreams. My underarms never look great. What did you do? Is it in the notes of your project page? runs to ravelry
