Introducing Once Upon a Time – a cropped, textured pullover, buttoned-up at the neckline (or leave it open :D). I love the vertical stripes of its Broken Rib – a 2 stitch by 2 row repeat, easy to remember – that segues neatly from the ribbing of its hemline, to that of its stand-up collar. This design is worked bottom-up and in-the-round to the armholes, where the bodice splits and front and back panels are worked separately. Long sleeves are worked bottom-up and in-the-round as well, with short rows at their cap for smooth shaping. It’s seamless, except for the sleeve caps that are set in. Enjoy!
