Funky Turtle is a relaxed, cute pullover that is worked seamlessly from the top down. I wanted to make it a simple knit that is still truly unique.
This pullover is knitted seamlessly from the top down in the round. The turtleneck, hem and cuffs are worked in a modified half-twisted ribbing. The rest of the garment is worked in Stockinette Stitch.
A simple stranded colourwork pattern highlights the transition between sections. The body and sleeves are worked straight with increases before the hem ribbing on the body and decreases before the cuffs.
