Nightly is a pattern I created in collaboration with Atelier fil.

Nightly, in airy and fluffy fingering weight yarn, is a pullover with volume sleeves in a tuck-stitch pattern. It is worked seamlessly from the top-down using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/people/SusieM).
First, German short rows are used to shape the neckline, then the yoke is worked in the round to the underarm. After the body and the sleeves are separated, the lower body is worked in the round to the hem. Finally the sleeves on hold are worked in the round to the cuffs. The instructions include options for 3/4 and long sleeves.
This pattern uses abbreviations for Tuck Stitches developed by Nancy Marchant, briocher on Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/people/briocher).

The pattern instructions are written. Stitch pattern repeat is both written and charted.
