Crush and Blush Pullover has a slightly
relaxed fit with European shoulder
construction, and it’s knitted seamlessly
top down.

The pullover is started at the back neck
and increased to the full width of the
back. Then the stitches are picked up
along the sloped shoulders for the
fronts. The pieces are joined at the
underarm and the body is knitted in one
piece. The sleeve stitches are picked up
from the body and worked in the round.
The length of the body and sleeves are
easily modified to suit your own body
measurements.

The pattern uses fingering weight yarn
held together with lace weight yarn, but
it can be substituted for a strand of DK
weight yarn.

Sample is knitted using Drops Nord in
colourway 27 held together with Drops
Kid Silk in colourway 53.
