Inspired by traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirts, vyshyvankas, this sweater features richly decorated voluminous sleeves and a straight silhouette. The design joins the Star Jasmine family that already has a shawl and a headband pattern.

Pullover is worked in the round from the top down with raglan shaping and short rows at the back neck. The neckline is folded for extra coziness and is knit in two-color brioche rib as are the cuffs and the bottom hem. The top of the sleeves is embellished with Estonian braids and nupps, while the rest is mostly composed of 3x1 rib, with dip stitches worked once in a few rows. The sleeves are gently rounded before the cuff.

The sleeve pattern is both charted and written out. Videos for nupps, Estonian braids, brioche ribbing, and Star Jasmine stitch are provided.
