PATTERN INFORMATION
The perfect quick knit for a trip to the apple orchard, this oversized sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. The front and back of the split hem are worked flat then joined and knit in the round to the underarms. When dividing for armholes, a few extra stitches are cast on to accentuate the drop shoulder. Then, the front and back of the sweater are knit flat using short rows for neck shaping. Both shoulders are grafted for a seamless finish, and neck stitches are picked up and worked in the round with a front V-neck decrease. Each sleeve is picked up and knit in the round from the armhole down and features a thin column of textured wrap-and-drop stitches that form a fun zigzag detail.

Pictured sweater: Size M (41” / 104 cm), worn on a 37” / (94 cm) bust.
