Kera

This deceptively simple pullover is knit from the bottom up and features seamless saddle-shoulder shaping for a clean fit. Kera is graphic, yet understated; decrease lines define the shoulders, and slashes of a contrasting color mark the pockets. With flattering waist shaping concentrated in the back, Kera is an easygoing sweater that doesn’t sacrifice silhouette.
Sized with 5% positive ease at the bust, but choose your size based on your cross-back measurement. As long as your bust measurement is within an inch or two on either side of the bust measurement that corresponds to your cross-back, you should not need to make alternations. (Cross-back is measured across the back from where “seam” hits to the same spot on the other side – the red line in the schematic.)
Note: Shown modeled by my daughter with just a bit more ease than actually recommended.
The pattern has been tagged as seamless, although the pocket linings are stitched down. The overall construction method, however, is seamless.
