Pascuali Alisea Short-Sleeved Pullover Pattern – Puffärmel Top-down English

Such a lovely summer pattern! The top-down construction is well explained in English, no seaming needed. Puff sleeves look romantic without being too much. Knitted with Suave, so soft.

Clear pattern, lovely fit!

The English pattern is clean and logical. Make sure to wash your swatch, the bio-merino silk grows a bit.

I made the Alisea Short-Sleeved Pullover in size M and I wear it constantly. The instructions for yoke, short rows and puff sleeves are step by step and easy to follow on tablet. My English is not perfect but abbreviations are standard and explained. The silk content gives a beautiful drape. Download was instant. Highly recommend for advanced beginners.

Gorgeous design with flattering neckline. The puff sleeve shaping needs careful counting, but the result is worth it. I like that you can try on as you go with top-down. Yarn usage matched the description. Will knit again in another colour.

Pattern is correct and finished garment fits well. I missed a schematic with more lengths for different sizes. With measuring in between it worked fine. The lace and stockinette mix is pretty and airy for summer.

Pattern PDF is nice and professional, charts are readable. Unfortunately the neckline turned out too wide on me even though gauge matched, I had to rip back and pick up fewer stitches. Sleeves are cute though. Two stars because I needed major adjustments for a petite frame.

I finished it in two weeks of evening knitting. Top-down means no boring assembly, I love that. The English wording is precise, no errors found. The bio-merino silk feels luxurious and not itchy at all. Fits true to size with nice positive ease. My daughter already wants one too.

Light, airy, feminine. The pattern guides you nicely from cast-on to bind-off, including sleeve pick-up. I am 62 and knit in English regularly, this was a pleasure. The puff sleeve is modest and age-appropriate. Beautiful!
