KiCiKa is a simple and sophisticated drop shoulder pullover with a mock neck, worked from the top down.

It starts with the neckline, and the shoulders are knitted in the round. The body is divided into the front and back and they are worked back and forth to then create arm openings. They are joined again at the underarm and knitted to the hem in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and knitted in the round.

  • The front and back are the same, no short rows used.

  • You can choose between the 3/4 sleeve version and a sleeveless version.

  • The body and sleeve lengths can be adjusted to your liking (note that the amount of yarn will change).

  • Photo and video tutorials on how to make a neckband are included.

  • Video tutorials on RLI and LLI are included.
