Description

Dijon is a polo-collar sweater worked from the top down, that  lovely Eri Shimizu designed for the launch of Nebula.

The collar is worked first, then the neck opening is shaped using German short-rows method. Then, the yoke is formed

back and forth while the button bands are worked at the same time. After the button bands are joined, the yoke is worked in the round in one piece until the sleeves and body are separated at the underarm. The sleeves are also worked top- down in the round. 

This simple yet stylish pullover is light as a feather, and let the yarn speak beautifully!

We knitted it in Fedora shade, you may find the whole Nebula palette HERE
