The Catalina Striped Pullover is a top-down, contiguous sweater knit in the round with stripes. The sweater begins with a folded-over collar and is shaped with short rows. Strategic increases are made for the front, back, and sleeves at various stages to create what looks like set-in sleeves. Once the sweater is knit to the specific depth, you’ll divide for the body. The body is knit in the round and finished with 1x1 rib. Then the sleeves are knit in the round and finished with ribbing.
