Kleio
Kleio was the muse of history and the name means “to make famous” or “to celebrate.”
The Kleio pullover has a relaxed, boxy fit with dropped shoulders. It is knitted seamlessly top down. The piece is started at the back neck and then increased to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up along the sloped shoulders for the fronts. The front and back pieces are joined at the underarm and the body is then knitted in the round. The sleeve and the neckband stitches are picked up from the body and worked in the round.
The length of the body and sleeves are easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the sweater on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.

Yarn
Note: The pattern uses a strand of sport weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of worsted weight yarn. If you wish to work a worsted weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the sport weight yarn.
