Audrey’s Pullover is a seamless, top-down raglan sweater featuring a v-shaped neckline, high/low split hem and optional subtle striping. It also includes instructions for either no body shaping or an A-line silhouette.

This is the third sweater in the Audrey series! It all started 14 years ago with Audrey’s First Day (the toddler/child cardi version), then came Audrey’s Cardigan (teen/adult cardi) and now there’s Audrey’s Pullover (teen/adult pullover)

I used the versatile worsted-weight Vintage by Berroco. At a stitch gauge of 20 sts = 4”/10 cm, either Worsted or DK-weight yarn would work well! Full pattern details can be found below.

Pattern includes link to in-depth “tips page” which includes: how to pick a size, gauge swatching tips, how to join Fronts together after neck shaping and video lessons on working jogless 1-row stripes in the round and how to pick-up stitches for neckline and working mitered rib trim (and more!).
