Alcyone from Christine Guest Designs

Alcyone Pullover

Alcyone Pullover is the Second Rise Up Design.  Go here to buy the Rise Up Collection of Seven designs, by seven designers, and seven ways to Rise Up.  Purchase the single pattern here after February 9, 2021.

Worked bottom up, in the round. The trunk of Alcyone is all stockinette above the decorative edging, so there is plenty of plain knitting to work your favorite shaping modifications in. The hems and yoke are decorated in twist stitch hexagons and stars. The sample is worked in squishy Cormo from Elemental Affects Yarn.  The sample show is a size .
