Curvo PDF

Curvo by Sachiko Burgin is a cozy pullover knit using Amelie, a soft and lightweight silk/merino/alpaca blend.  The pullover is knit from side to side with dramatically shaped shirt-tail hems, and ribbed edgings.  No short rows are used as the curved hems and shoulder shaping are created using only increases and decreases, making it quite simple to knit.

Notes
This sweater is knit sideways, starting from the left side. The body is knit in 2 flat pieces, then after seaming the shoulders the sleeves are picked up from the side edges and knit downwards towards the wrist. Circular needles are used to accommodate large number of stitches.
Measure your gauge swatch carefully. The stitch gauge affects the length of your finished sweater, while the row gauge affects the finished width. Row gauge is important in this project! A difference in row gauge may affect the amount of yarn needed.
