A utilitarian Shelter pullover distinguished by smart details will anchor any masculine wardrobe. A simple checkerboard of knits and purls creates subtle all-over texture, and a folded neckband in double rib adds a pleasing element of durable heft. Contrast-color elbow patches in Loft can be scholarly or playful, depending on your color choice. Fort is worked in the round to the underarms; the yoke and set-in sleeve caps are knit flat and seamed.

CONSTRUCTION

• Pullover is worked in the round from hem to underarm. After binding off stitches for the underarms, Front and Back yokes are worked separately, back and forth, to the shoulders.
• Sleeves are worked in the round from cuff to underarm; Sleeve caps are worked flat.
• The doubled collar is picked up from the neck opening and worked circularly, changing needle sizes to shape it. The inner collar lining is tacked down on the inside of the garment to finish.
• Optional garter stitch elbow patches are worked flat separately with fingering weight yarn in a contrasting color and then sewn onto sleeves.
