Texture that looks intricate but is easy to create is the cornerstone of the Abingdon Pullover. This loose-fitting, boxy pullover uses a deeply textured, elegant ribbing on the hem and cuffs, then transitions to an allover simple texture on the body and sleeves. Drop shoulder sleeves are kept trim through the upper arm for a modern look. Pullover is worked flat from the bottom up and seamed. The neckline begins with just enough 1x1 Rib to hold it in place, then is finished with a stockinette rolled neckline. Stitch patterns are written and charted.

Sample is 44.25” size; model is 33.5” bust.
