Jurek (pronounced “joo-RECK”) means “heart” in Kazakh language. The pullover is worked from the bottom up in the round, then worked flat once the Front is separated for the neck opening. If deviating from the recommended ease listed in the pattern, reference the measurements for the upper arm in the final slide of the photos, as this pullover has a relatively close-fitting upper arm.
