VERSACIKNITS
Crisscross is Lori’s all-time favorite design! This women’s knitting pattern is
for a beautiful shell with a biased scarf neckpiece, Crisscross seems like a
simple vest, but the details make it so unique. The tapered front panels,
I-cord edgings, wrap-around scarf collar, and button accents make this a
timeless piece. The sweater is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up, then
seamed. The fronts are worked on the bias, increasing at one end and decreasing
at the other, beginning just below the armhole, this section is eventually
split off to become the criss-cross scarf. Crisscross is knit in a mix of Shibui
Reed and Pebble, making this a must-have piece in your summer wardrobe.
