Mayhemma is a tailored Ziggurat pullover with ‘set-in’ sleeves and an overlap neck and plain finish. The broken rib creates a nice texture and also makes it possible to knit to the bind off without any extra finish or flourish.
There are pockets, three little splashes of almost-hidden colour and stacked vertically. Not for transporting your lunch sandwhiches, perhaps, but a stitch marker or two and a small hanky.

An optional bust dart is worked into the rib pattern. Or not – as it is optional.

  • Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • no seaming
  • very few ends to weave in

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
