Joy to knit and wear

The simple to knit modern lace pattern of the Joyous Pullover is lightweight and slightly transparent. Extra ease around upper arms and the body makes the pullover drape nicely. The pullover is worked flat from bottom to top. The back, front and sleeves are each worked separately, with sleeves worked in the round. The pieces are joined together with Mattress stitch. The collar stitches are picked up around the neckline and the collar is worked in the round. The turtleneck collar, sleeves and hem are worked in 2 by 2 rib.

Techniques

Backwards Loop Cast-on is used at underarm and Mattress stitches are used for seaming.
