Pullover 02

#Pullover02 #qqyarnover

The Pullover 02 features raglan sleeves and a boxy fit. It is knit seamlessly from the top down using classic stockinette stitch. First, create a raglan yoke and shape the front neckline. Once the raglan has reached the required yoke depth, divide the body and sleeves. Work the body and sleeves in the round. Pick up stitches around the neck to create ribbing.

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