The Almond Pullover was inspired by fingertips’ beautiful Almond Collection. It is for knitters with some experience and also some patience. You need to be able to knit and purl through the back loop, make double increases and decreases, and read charts.

You don’t have to be adventurous, but open-minded and confident, and you’ll custom-knit the pullover in your size with the yarn and needles of your choice. Light fingering or fingering yarn will be best. For size S, I used up 3 skeins of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (385 m/420 yds per 100 g) on 3.75 mm (UK 9, US 5) needles. You can also make this with laceweight yarn just like my first Almond Pullover, but be prepared to keep working on it for a loooooong time!

The pullover is worked bottom-up flat in four separate pieces and seamed. The fabric will be dense, but also extremely stretchy.
