The Stillwater Pullover is a classic summer make that functions as both a light weight pullover and a breezy swimsuit cover-up. The Stillwater Pullover is worked back and forth in rows. The front panel, back panel, and sleeves are worked as individual pieces that are seamed together. Set-in sleeves and a shaped neckline make this pullover a comfortable, flattering fit on any body type.

The pattern contains a picture intensive tutorial for all of the visual learners out there! (The pattern and picture tutorial end on page 11; pages 12 – 16 contain the pattern without the picture tutorial. Select pages 12 – 16 only when printing to save on printer ink)

This pattern uses basic stitches throughout; however, it includes some collar shaping and unique construction elements that make it an intermediate pattern.
