The Verve Pullover from Lyrical
Knits is all about feeling your enthusiastic best! Like its fingering-weight
version Valine,
Verve is worked from the shoulders-down with set-in ¾-length sleeves that are
created simultaneously with the upper bodice in a technique originally
described by Barbara Walker. Make it in a basic sport or DK yarn for an
everyday, go-to sweater, or jazz it up with a special luxury-fiber yarn. Choose
a shallow twisted rib and the hem & cuffs, or a K2, P2 ribbing. Either way,
this is a basic sweater that performs beautifully with anything from jeans to a
pencil skirt. Shaping to the waist and hips is accomplished along princess
“seams” to allow for maximum customization.
