Ascend - Crew is a DK / Light worsted weight pullover worked in bottom-up, drop shoulder construction and featuring a chevron textured hem. This design is worked in the round up to the armholes and then split for front & back where it is then knit flat until joined at the shoulders using the modified 3-needle bind off method. Ascend - Crew is finished with a twisted rib collar and bracelet length sleeves.

For a limited time, pick up Ascend + Ascend - Crew for a discounted bundle price of $11 when both patterns are purchased together (no code needed).

Ascend - Crew can be worked in two contrasting colorways for high impact, or with a single color for a more subtle vibe. Knit in a tonal, the chevron texture hem and broken seed “stripes” through the body provide visual texture & interest.
