About the pattern

The Diamonds top is a beautiful pattern worked in the round from the bottom up, completely seamless. A delicate lace pattern emphasizes the hem, and beads add extra interest to the neckline, hem, and cuffs. After working the desired body length, which is very easy to modify to a crop or full-length version according to your preferences, the front and back are worked flat with decreases to shape the armhole.

The sleeves are worked by picking up around the armhole edge, working in the set-in sleeve with short rows. The rest of the sleeves are worked from the top down in rounds in stocking stitch.

Notes Sizes:
To measure the armhole depth, place your tape measure on the highest part of the shoulder (where the shoulder bone protrudes) and count until the underarm. Place the tape measure right under both underarms to calculate the bust circumference. When choosing your size, I recommend that you decide it based on the bust circumference. Still, if you find that the size you selected has a very armhole depth, you can adjust it by working the instructions for size with the armhole depth measurements closer to your preferences. Working different instructions for the armhole depth will also require working the neckline shaping and sleeves to the new instructions.

Pattern Notes:

Noteº1: You can knit with or without beads if you wish.

Noteº2: The total amount of beads needed will vary according to their size.

Noteº3: Before starting your project, make a swatch to ensure you are getting gauge and that your sweater will come to the correct final measurements. If you have more stitches per inch than indicated, your tension is tighter, and you must go up a needle size or two. If you have fewer stitches per inch than indicated, your tension is looser, and you need to go down a needle size or two.

Noteº4: Rows are worked flat, and Rounds are worked in-the-round.
