The Holiday Time Pullover is a simple, quick knit that’s great for beginner knitters and fun for the more advanced. It’s knit in the round from the bottom up, divided for the front and back, and then seamed at the top. The collar and sleeves are picked up and knit in the round. It’s intended to fit a bit cropped but feel free to adjust body length as desired.

Size Guide + Finished Measurements
The pullover is written in eight sizes, 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), with a finished bust size of 35.5 (39, 42.5, 46, 50, 53, 57, 60.5) in/90.5 (99, 108.5, 117.5, 126.5, 135.5, 144.5, 153.5) cm. It is intended to have about 4-8 in/7.5-13 cm of positive ease so pick a size that will provide the intended ease or adjust to your desired ease. For example, I’m about a 37 in/94 cm bust and knit a size 3 for about 5.5 in/14 in of positive ease.
