LOCKDOWN pull is quite simple to knit. The bust is knitted on straight needles, while the 3/4 sleeves on circular needles. If you prefer, you can make sleeves and body length longer than those indicated in the pattern. Keep this choice in mind when you purchase the necessary yarn: in this case, in fact, you will have to consider having more yarn than that indicated by me.
You can embellish your pull, as mine, embroidering on it some flowers. To learn how to make the embroidery, follow the tutorial that you can find on my YouTube channel: clicca qui
