NOTES ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION

This pullover is knit top down in a drop-sleeve construction. Since this is my favorite style of pullover, I decided to knit it in alternate yarn weights and slightly change each one to show how you can have a favorite style pullover but not look like you are wearing the same one every day!

The instructions are the same for each weight, but follow the tables for your yarn weight and size. Fingering and Sport weights are in the same section as a change in needle size was all that was required to obtain the same gauge.

This pullover looks great when worn with a positive ease that can vary between 2-6 inches.

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR ABOUT THE YARN

  • 2 strands of DK weight to get a worsted weight gauge;
  • 2 strands of fingering weight to get a DK weight gauge;

  • Two strands of lace weight to get a fingering weight gauge;
