Amulet

CONSTRUCTION

• The garment is constructed in four pieces. The back shoulders are worked separately while the back neck is shaped, and then

  joined for the top back and worked down to the garment center. The front shoulders are picked up and knit from the back shoulders, worked separately while the neck is shaped, and then joined for the top front and worked down to the garment center. The lower front and back are worked from the bottom up. The lower front and back are then joined to the upper front and back at the center of the garment using Joinery Bind Off from the RS, to create a decorative ridge. The side ribbing and neckband are picked up and worked after garment assembly.

Amulet was initially named "Nomad." Upon reflection and customer feedback, we changed the pattern's name on June 24, 2020 to avoid cultural appropriation.
