Sunshine Pullover
Errata RLI, RLPI, LLI and LLPI were accidentally omitted from the glossary. Please see the errata for their instructions.
The Sunshine Pullover is knit from the top down with seamless hems worked at the yoke, sleeve cuff, and lower edges. Double-layered hems are worked at each edge of this sweater, using two different techniques for the cast-on or bind-off edges. The hems and sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch, and the honeycomb pattern is worked in a multiple of 6 stitches plus 2, which can interchange with the other stitch patterns in this chapter! This sweater would look great in a lacy pattern and short sleeves. See page 54 for more info on adjusting sleeve length.
