Notes
Burnished leaves, warm spicy drinks, and everything beautiful about autumn comes together in Ginger, a cozy drop shoulder pullover.

Ginger is designed to have a friendly, yet flattering fit with nine different size options. Little details like a split hem, ribbed cables, and extra long cuffs elevate a sweater that feels like wearing your favorite sweatshirt. Choose your size based on your bust measurement and desired ease. Ginger is designed to fit comfortably with 4-6in/10-15cm of ease at the bust. The sleeves are simple straight sleeves designed to fit closely. If you prefer looser sleeves, consider going up a size for your sleeves. Note that this will increase the required amount of yarn.

Ginger is a drop shoulder pullover worked from the top down beginning with the back neck. The upper back is worked flat before the shoulder stitches are picked up on each side of the neck. The shoulders are each worked separately and joined when the front neck is cast on. Then the entire body is joined to be worked in the round. The sleeves are picked up and knit separately.
