Who's ready to shine like a diamond? The sewn-in graphical diamond artwork, gives your sweater an edgy and modern look - keep it clean and fresh by using a knit fabric in a single color or go crazy and color-block away! For those intimidated by seam matching all the pieces of the diamond, we've also added a "basic diamond" and a "basic front bodice". Yay for versatility!
The Dia Adult sweater & tunic comes in 4 different lengths: a straight & high low sweater and straight & high low tunic length. Next to that, the pattern comes with long, short and 3/4 sleeves.
When your up for some twinning, make sure to also check out our updated ! Or get both the kids & adult version in a !
Techniques involved include sewing with knits, straight & curved seams, using basting threads (only for the puff sleeves), seam matching and attaching ribbing.
