Pullover with Silk+
Fusion is a sweater version of my Joinery pattern.
Joinery has no sleeves, uses a worsted weight linen yarn with low gauge, and it is a great accessory type top.
Fusion has sleeves, uses a lighter weight silk yarn with tighter gauge, and it can be worn as a sweater for different seasons.
It's assembled with four panels using the join-as-you-go method. This method of joining is fun, makes a cable-like texture, and adds character to the top. Using two colors shows off the cable-like texture, and makes a unique and original top.
The bottom of the front body has an asymmetrical line, and the back body is even. However, you can make both Front and Back asymmetrical or even if you prefer.
