Moon Dog is a dropped shoulder jumper featuring a turtleneck, tapered sleeves and split high-low hem. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the back and front of the yoke are knit flat before being joined in the round at the under-arm. Stitches are picked up along the armholes for the sleeves, and then knit in the round to the cuff. The dropped shoulder construction gives to this jumper a cozy oversized body, balanced by the slim fit of the tapered sleeves. I recommend wearing this jumper with at least 6” / 15.25 cm of positive ease to allow for full movement around the shoulders and armholes.
