This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

The LINES collection is full of textures that draw the eye in, up, around, through -- like the best architectural spaces, these sweaters give us much to contemplate, while still inviting us to live in them comfortably. In that spirit, we’ve named them each after a contemporary woman architect: Zaha Hadid, Selasi Setufe, Kazuyo Sejima, and Emma Miloyo.

In the Miloyo sweater, the linear routine of horizontal ribs is almost miraculously made to accommodate curves at both hem and shoulder -- without disruption. Short rows near the top of the body prove that a drop shoulder doesn’t have to mean excess fabric at the underarm.

Notes

-The front and back hems are worked back and forth in rows using German short rows accompanied by decreases to curve the lower edge into a “shirttail” hem.

-After joining the hems, the lower body is worked in the round in one piece to the underarms, and then it divides for working the upper front and back separately.

-The shoulders are shaped using short rows with increases to curve the top edge of the body upwards. Stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and worked in the round down to the cuff.
