Pattern notes
This pullover is worked from the bottom up. After the hem rib, the body is worked in the round from a colourwork chart. Front and back are divided at the underarms and worked separately to the shoulders in half-twisted rib. The neckline is shaped and completed, shoulders are shaped with short rows and then joined with a three needle bind off. Stitches are picked up around each armscye, and the sleeves are worked top-down, from a colourwork chart. Deep ribbed cuffs complete the sweater.
