This design is my contribution to LITLG magazine Issue 05 Liminal Threads.
The pullover is knit top-down in the round with a textured top of the yoke and cuffs and simple inlay colourwork pattern around the yoke. Both, the bottom of the body and cuffs, are finished with folded hem edges. It is a quick and easy knit suitable even for adventurous beginners.
The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) to fit 74 (84, 94, 104, 114) (124, 134, 144, 154) cm // 29 (33, 37, 41, 45) (49, 53, 57, 61) in bust circumference with ca. 20-23 cm (8-9 in) of positive ease and a finished bust circumference of ca. 96 (107, 116, 124, 136) (144, 156, 164, 176) cm // 37.5 (42, 45.5, 49, 53.25) (56.75, 61.25, 64.75, 69) in.
