Pullover Nilsa by Pascuali Designs

The NILSA pullover is initially knitted top down with a round yoke in stockinette stitch. The increases are made in such a way that they lie on top of each other to form a subtle pattern. The lower part of the waist and sleeves is worked in fisherman ́s rib stitch which then merges into the rib pattern of the hem and cuffs. Due to its loose fit, it is very comfortable to wear.
