A simple pullover for your rosebud or little buddy. Based on my Sun Rose pattern, which uses a simplified version of Barbara Walker’s top-down seamless simultaneous set-in sleeve construction. There are fewer steps at the beginning, no tiny pieces to start with, no short rows at all, and fewer ends to weave in. Bud features a bit of stretchy garter at the shoulders, a simple garter-edged scoop neck, 3/4 sleeves, a slight a-line shape, and an easy garter edging with optional eyelets.

NO short rows!
NO seams!
NO provisional cast-on!
NO finishing other than weaving in ends!

Note: Specific striping directions are not included in the pattern, but information is given so that you can plan your own striping sequence.
