Pullover 01

#Pullover01 #qqyarnover

The Pullover 01 has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. It is knit seamlessly top-down using classic stockinette stitch. The pullover is started at the back neck and increased to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and worked as the front of the pullover. The front and back are joined at the underarm and the body is then worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up from the body for the sleeves and the neckband. The sleeves have some short rows shaping at the sleeve caps to improve the fit.

The Pullover 01 is worked by using a single strand of Aran weight yarn.
