The Edgar pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The brioche rib yoke and the following row of pearl-like bobbles remind me of historical ruffle collars, and add a touch of elegance to this otherwise minimalistic pullover. The two-round bobbles are easy and quick to knit, without having to work any WS rounds. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately.

There are two options for the sleeves: you can either pick slim sleeves or add a little more drama with the volume sleeve option.
