Shel Designs Elan PDF

Oversized, reversible, and flowy, Elan from Shel Designs is a versatile top for spring and summer. The body of this pullover is knit in the round from the bottom up, divided at the armholes and worked flat to the shoulders, where the front and back are joined using a three-needle bind-off. Twig yarn is used to trim the hem, neck, and armholes, giving a polished finish to this pullover. Choose to wear Elan with the crew neck or v-neck front and center, and enjoy several easy to wear looks in one garment!
