I Got Stripes Polo (Knitting pattern English)
I Got Stripes Polo is a fitted design in two strands of mohair with long sleeves and a polo collar. It is worked top down. The yoke is worked with different increase sequences that form a sloping shoulder at the back, while a beautiful sleeve cap is created using the contiguous method. From here, sleeves and body are worked separately. Plackets are then added to the front, leading directly up into the collar - and worked in double knitting - before the body is joined and worked in the round. It is finished with a 1x1 rib edge.
The sleeve stitches are joined and worked in the round and straight down, and are likewise finished with a 1x1 rib edge.
Choice of size
The polo is designed to have a small positive ease of approx. 0-10 cm. This means you should choose a size measuring 0-10 cm more than your own bust circumference.
For example, if you measure 96 cm, choose size M with a circumference of 100 cm.
