Dahshur

Inspired by some of the oldest pyramids in Egypt, Dahshur is a raglan-sleeved pullover featuring a textured lace stitch pattern and a high-low hem. Worked in one piece from the top down, the body is worked straight then uses short rows to create a curved hem. Edges are finished with Garter stitch. Dahshur is intended to be worn with 0-2” ease in the bust. Shown with no ease.
