CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW

The pullover is worked seamlessly top down using a saddle shoulder construction. You will first work the saddles, then work the back and front flat. The front right and left are first worked separately until the length of the plackets have been reached. You will then work and bind off the plackets, then join the left and right front by overlapping the plackets and picking up stitches through both plackets along the bottom. The body is then joined in the round and worked to desired length. The collar is then picked up and worked flat in 1x1 rib. The sleeves are worked top down in the round, first with short rows to form the sleeve cap and then with decreases to taper the fit.

SIZING

The Cassia pullover is designed to be worn with approximately 6-8 in [15-20 cm] of positive ease, meaning the circumference of the pullover is approximately 6-8 in [15-20 cm] larger than your bust.
