ABOUT

The Freddie Pullover is an oversized V-neck sweater with cable details and a double knit collar. It’s worked top down, first flat, then in the round. The back of the pullover is worked back and forth in a described cable pattern while short rows are used to shape the shoulders. Stitches are picked up for both sides of the front of the garment and increases are made to shape the V-neck. The front and back are then joined in the round and the body is finished in 2x2 rib. The sleeves are also picked up in the round and worked with subtle decreases to create a straight sleeve. The placket is then worked in 2x2 rib. Stitches for the collar are picked up along the top of the placket and around the neckline and worked in double knitting.

SIZING

The Freddie Pullover is designed to have 8-10 in / 20-25 cm of positive ease. If you are between sizes, I suggest sizing down as the pullover is already oversized.
