Jhana Pullover
This sweater is a lot of fun to knit! It begins by knitting the cable panel sideways, then joining the two ends together to make a ring. The lower and upper bodies are picked up and knit from either side of the cable panel. There’s a little waist shaping for a flattering fit, and once the cable band is joined, it’s completely seamless!
Construction Notes
• This sweater begins with a provisional cast-on to work the cable panel sideways, then joining the two ends together with the kitchener stitch, to make a ring.
• Then the upper and lower body stitches are picked up from either side of the cable panel and worked in the round, in their respective directions.
• For the upper body, the body is knit in the round to the underarms where the back and front are divided and knit separately to the shoulders. The shoulder stitches are joined with a three-needle bind-off.
• The sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and knit down. Some short-rows are worked to shape the sleeve cap.
• The neckband is picked up and worked as ribbing around the neckline.

• Links to a photo tutorial for the three-needle bind-off, and for the provisional cast-on method recommended
