Dryopteris is a lightweight sleeveless top, knitted from the bottom up, with panels of diagonal travelling stitches up the sides that continue round the armhole to the shoulder. Th e name ‘Dryopteris’ is that of a native British fern, which has leaves similar to the columns of travelling stitches up the sides of the garment. Two hem ribbing sections are worked flat, then joined in the round for a split hem. The body is worked in the round, then divided for front and back, which are worked flat. The armholes are shaped, then the neckline, and the shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off. Stitches are picked up and worked in ribbing for the neckline and armholes. Show more
