Curvo by Sachiko Burgin is a cozy pullover knit using Amelie, a soft and lightweight silk/merino/alpaca blend. The pullover is knit from side to side with dramatically shaped shirt-tail hems, and ribbed edgings. No short rows are used as the curved hems and shoulder shaping are created using only increases and decreases, making it quite simple to knit.
