The LUCY pullover has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. The pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down, started at the back neck and increased to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and worked as the front of the pullover. The front and back are joined at underarm and the body is then worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up from the body for the sleeves and the neckband. The sleeves have a bit of Short row shaping at the sleeve caps to improve the fit.
The LUCY pullover is worked by using a single strand of Aran weight yarn.
