Dadà umpa is a fitted pullover with a squared neckline and 3/4 sleeves, worked with a simple but catchy textured pattern (waving rib pattern). It is worked seamlessly top down in the round with a classical raglan construction.
The stitch pattern allows for a lot of stretch which is how the negative ease is achieved.

Skills needed:
-long-tail CO
-waving rib pattern (knit and purl, see pattern notes)
-increases (M1L and M1R, afterthought yarn over increase)
-decreases (k2tog and ssk method)
-picking up stitches
-BO (preferred stretchy method)
