Introducing … the Main Squeeze Pullover, based on the stitch patterns of Main Squeeze Cardigan (but knitted at a smaller gauge!) This pullover is worked bottom-up, seamless in the round with raglan shaping. The body can be knitted inside-out to underarms to avoid extra purling, then flipped right side out. The sleeves are worked in the round to the underarms, then placed on hold while the body is worked in one piece to the underarms. The pieces are joined and the yoke is worked in one piece to the end, with raglan shaping.
