Hand Knitting Pattern: Pullover sweater, Tee shirt

Yarn weight: Worsted (9 wpi)
Suggested yarn: Cascade Yarns ® Cascade 220®, Chelsea Luxe Merino DK, Yarn Indulgences Zed Merino DK

Worked in 2 pieces, bottom-up and seamed. The neckband is worked with a circular needle. The sleeves are knit with the body, by casting on and increasing in a reverse raglan at the armholes. Purl side / rev St st, is intended as the right side. But you could certainly reverse the fabric if you prefer. Rolled sleeve openings are self edged.
A dense DK yarn works well with the appropriate needles required to achieve the tension gauge specified. Choose a tonal hand-dye and for great results, alternate skeins through the body to mix the colours.

Rated: easy, experienced beginner
Skills required: Knit/purl, inc/dec, pick up sts, seam, graft or 3-needle bind off
Sizes available: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)
