Techniques

The design is divided vertically as well, with a front lace panel that is worked with the intarsia technique back and forth in the round. It is not as contradictory as it seems! The garment is worked back and forth to the left side, where the work is turned and German short rows are used to form a side seam. Thus, Halfway is entirely seamless. It is constructed from the bottom up, and once the underarm section is reached, the top front and back are worked flat separately, and you can choose either a visible or invisible three-needle bind-off for the shoulders. There are options for three-quarter sleeves or long sleeves, which are worked in the round.

Materials
