Elegant & Easy Worsted Weight Pullover
This sweater has a couple of design options – basic stockinette stitch or the addition of a simple braid to the front, back and/or sleeves. There are also edging options – a rolled edge, two wide rib edges, or a false cable edge. We recommend allowing for 4” of ease, so choose a size that is approximately 4” larger than the widest part of the individual’s chest/abdomen. Keep in mind that working the braid option in both the front and back will make the finished measurement approximately 1” smaller.
SKILLS NEEDED: Basics, simple shaping, simple cable (optional), finishing.

Circumference: 37” (39” / 41” / 43” / 45” / 47” / 49” / 52”)
Length: 18.5” (19” / 20” / 21” / 21.5” / 22” / 23” / 23”)
