Like its quintessential college-town namesake, Ann Arbor melds bohemian elements with sporty ones.

This worsted weight wear-anywhere pullover is knitted in my own cushy thermal rib tuck-stitch pattern, worked in a classic raglan style, with boho rolled edges and options of either crew or T necklines.

Construction: Ann Arbor is knitted in the round from the top down, beginning with a provisional cast-on at the neckline.
The stitch pattern is a variation on classic brioche, with wide raglan panels. Simple short rows dip the front neckline.
Sleeves and body are unshaped and are finished with a classic rib followed by a rolled edge. The neckline can be made in either a crew or T neck (shown), and has a double-knitted baffle that adds both style and neckline stability.
