Dusking

or purchase through Ravelry.

Dusking is a pullover that is worked from the top down almost exclusively in the round. The back yoke is shaped by a small gusset section that is worked back and forth for a better fit. Pullover begins with 4 strands of yarn held together, and as the pattern progresses, one strand of yarn is removed until only one strand remains to create a gradient effect of sheerness. This pattern was originally published in Cosmology Daruma 2022. Pattern is written in English..
